The novel is not the author's confession; it is an investigation of human life in the trap the world has become.

Challenges are opportunities in disguise—if you're willing to look closely.

译文：年轻人不要去嘲笑老人，你看花儿能红透到什么时候。赏析：每个人都会经历人生的起起落落，每个人都会衰老死去，不要因为自己一时的得势就去嘲笑别人，不能因为自己获得一时的成功就骄傲自大。

Patience and persistence are key to achieving long-term goals.

自我不是现成的东西，而是通过行动选择不断形成的东西。
