So given a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.

Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

A thief is a poor man's best friend.

For us who understand life, figures are a matter ofindifference.

"I’ve practiced so much that I don’t need to think before I play. It’s like driving a car—you don’t think about which pedals to push."

我感到自己在与命运同行。过去所有的生命不过为这一刻准备。我准备好了，我必将成功。

I will not be able to write anything else. I have nothing more to say.
