For a while, many people in the publishing and literary circles comnted, "’Loving You Is Loving Myself’ succeeded because the author could remain focused and, through a decade of effort, was able to delve deeply into the the of self-growth."
So even said, "Professor Ning beca an expert on self-growth by writing books, giving lectures, and conducting therapy."
After the release of her new book, she beca a bestselling author.
Countless television and radio stations, as well as various dia platforms, invited Ning Youguang to appear on their programs. Many organizations also wanted to hold workshops with her, invite her to give speeches, write popular science books, and promote the basic theories and skills of psychotherapy.
But she declined the vast majority of these invitations.
This was because she firmly adhered to her professional identity as a professor of psychology and a clinical psychologist. Writing books and giving speeches were rely sidelines, not her main career.
Gu Xi, Li Qing, Jiang Wei, and other friends around her asked, "Clearly, you have the potential to beco very popular. More appearances in the dia could increase your influence. Once you have influence, whatever you want to do later on would proceed smoothly. Why, at this critical starting point, do you choose to step back and decline so many invitations?"
"I know what I want," Ning Youguang said, "I hope my exploration never ceases."
She said, "I am very aware that I live in an illusory world, and I live as if in a dream. Participating in these activities is not currently in my life plan. If I spend too much ti on these things now, I may achieve so worldly success in a short ti, but it will also drain much of my energy and life. This is not what I need. What I need is to continuously improve, to continually enhance my life energy, to be able to fully express myself, and to live out the highest level of my life’s spiritual essence. And all these are contrary to the flamboyance of the external world."

In the capital city, the Starlight Investnt Fund Company.
"I really like this piece of advice from Inamori Kazuo to young people: most people have a superficial understanding of hardship. Hardship is not poverty but the ability to focus on a goal for a long ti. In this process, it involves giving up entertainnt, giving up ineffective socializing, giving up aningless consumption, and enduring the loneliness of being misunderstood. In essence, it is a kind of self-discipline, and the ability to persevere and think deeply..."
Shi Wangyue sat quietly and upright at the desk, focusing on work.
The deliberate and pretentious reading voice of Yun Ze Wu was surprisingly not annoying to him.
After reading for a while, Yun Ze Wu sat up slightly, flipped through the book in his hands several tis, and said, "Teacher Ning’s book is quite good, huh."
Shi Wangyue turned his head, his sharp gaze fell on him.
—His face clearly read, "Did you really need to say that?"
Yun Ze Wu awkwardly touched his nose and flipped the book to the beginning, where a famous dostic psychology scholar, Academician Yu, had written a preface for his beloved student’s new book.
"The preface that Academician Yu wrote for Teacher Ning is quite interesting. This preface makes the book sound like a classic at first glance. He truly is soone with knowledge and inner depth; even his praise leaves no trace."
Shi Wangyue curled his lips, "Precisely, classics are the best-selling and most popular books in the world."1314
