The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I love to read fairy tales when I was young. Before I read “The Little Prince”, I think it would be like the story “Blue Diamond Prince”. However, after reading the story, it was totally different and the story told me lots of things to be considered in my life.

I think it must be a process. When you are getting old, you have to consider lots of things: career, monies, family, relationship, friendship, health… etc. I believe most of us would believe that everything is not enough. When you earn your first ten thousand, you want to have a million. When you have a flat with 40 sq.m., you want to have a flat with 100 sq.m. You have a stable relationship for a long time, you suddenly want to have another one which you consider he/she must be better. Your life would be a process of running for more. Simple things become complicate.

“The Little Prince” is not a book for children because it is not a simple story. Children only think simple things but “The Little Price” tells you complicate things.
