I feel that all should read this book as it teaches us that we should not live a life earning money without any excitement in life. We should lead an exciting life, full of adventures to fully live your precious moments without any regrets. From this book, we can also see that regardless of what dreams you may have, you need to have the basics for survival before pursuing your dream as it may be useful throughout your life or it may also be for the short period of time, as similar to the main character of the book, who did not have a clue of housework and only knows how to earn money.
