The novel is a very democratic form. It allows for the expression of many voices, many points of view.

Growth is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck.

当你为他人的看法而活时，你就已经死了。

不确定性是新常态——用敏捷性和远见为其做好准备。

译文：贪图小利终究会吃大亏，仗着自己聪明终究不会有大的成功。赏析：见小利则大事不成，机关算尽太聪明，反误了卿卿性命。虚名小利只会影响我们前行的视野，认为自己最聪明，就会忘乎所以，事情就难以成功。
