(from http://srogers.com/books/little_prince/contents.asp)
It was a very old book but it have a deep meaning for us. There are some sentences from the book.
" To forget a friend is sad. Not every one has had a friend. "
We can think we all have friends but do we have a bosom friend ? I ever heard that in our life if we have a bosom friend, it's enough from the cradle to the grave.
When I read the sentence, I agree it very much.
" It is a question of discipline. "
" Sometimes, there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day. But when it is a matter of baobabs, that always means a catastrophe. "
I think I am a person like putting off a piece of work until another day. Sometimes, I do my homework at the end of the deadline. I think I have to learn about the question of discipline.....
" The fact is that I did not know how to understand anything! I ought to have judged by deeds and not by words. "
I think everybody should learn the principle.
