"人们总是对自己比对任何其他人更感兴趣。如果你的书能帮助他们以新的眼光看待自己,他们很可能会对你的书感兴趣。"
— Yuval Noah Harari
Simplified Meaning:
When you write something, people are usually more interested in how it relates to their own lives rather than the story itself. Think about how people love reading horoscopes; they get excited because they believe it reveals something about their own lives. In the same way, your writing will capture their attention if it helps them understand themselves better. For instance, if your book talks about overcoming challenges, readers might see their own struggles in your story and feel inspired. So, to make your writing engaging, try to connect it with experiences or feelings that many people share. This way, they will see reflections of their own lives in your words and find your work much more intriguing.
