The Secret Garden was a novel by Somerset Maugham, first published in 1919. From the perspective of the protagonist, Preston Holt, the novel described his experience of visiting the "secret garden" in his home to show the inner world and emotional journey of an ordinary person. A good phrase from the Secret Garden: - The more I learn the more I am filled with wonder - A mind is a thing of beauty And as long as it's free it will explore - innovation begins at the mind - The path to knowledge is often shortest when one takes the most steps back Secret Garden's main content: The protagonist, Preston Holt, was attracted by the beauty of his secret garden and began to reflect on his lifestyle and emotional state. He discovered his love for art, nature, and philosophy by exploring the Secret Garden, but he also discovered his shortcomings in his family and social life. This experience made Holt think about his future and decided to change his lifestyle to pursue his artistic and philosophical pursuits. Through the experience of the Secret Garden, Holt finally found his spiritual home and became a creative and thoughtful artist and philosopher. The Secret Garden has given me a lot of experience: - Reading can broaden our horizons and enlighten our minds. - In life, we can also find our own direction and goals through constant exploration, experimentation, and reflection. - Reading and learning is not a one-sided process, but a process that requires our active participation and active participation. - Only through continuous effort and practice could one truly understand and master knowledge.
