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.
在二战之前,生活是简单的。在那之后,我们有了系统。
先爱自己,因为这是一切奇迹开始的地方。
风中的花朵日渐凋零,美好的相会之期依然遥远。
