1. 读书分两种，功利性读书与非功利性读书。非功利性的读书更为重要，它让你能够地址成有功主义的读书，能够坦然接受自己的命运，一个人真正的成功不是在他辉煌的时候有多么风光，而是在你遭遇挫折时，在你低迷时，你是否依然有勇气继续前行。非功利性阅读能让我们意识到自己的渺小，培育我们的谦卑。

1. There are two types of reading: utilitarian reading and non-utilitarian reading. Non-utilitarian reading is more important, as it enables you to address the issue of utilitarianism in reading, and allows you to calmly accept your destiny.

Non-utilitarian reading can make us aware of our own insignificance and cultivate our humility.

4. Professor Luo Xiang not only imparts legal knowledge in the educational process, but also integrates discussions on philosophy, the pursuit of classics, and insights into life, helping students establish correct worldviews and ideals.
