The gap between people in night reading lies in the vision

"Without reading, there is no real upbringing, and at the same time there can be no discernment."

The gap between people lies in the vision. Reading is a shortcut to broaden your horizons and a self-added way at the lowest cost.

Reading makes your heart firmer

The writer Liang Shiqiu wrote in his essay: "For ordinary people, reading is the easiest way to cultivate. "Reading makes people focused, which improves concentration.

The French writer Maupassant was clever and intelligent as a child, with a wide range of interests. Once, the uncle took Maupassant to visit his predecessor Flaubert, hoping to worship Flaubert as a teacher.

Flaubert asked, "Tell me about your daily studies." Maupassant said: "I read and write in the morning, I play the piano when I have time, I learn to repair cars in the afternoon, then I play football with friends, and in the evening I go to the shop to learn how to make roast goose." ”

Maupassant was very proud of his "fulfilling" day and asked, "What do you do every day?" ”

Flaubert smiled and said, "My day is simple. Every day, I read and write for 4 hours in the morning, 4 hours in the afternoon, and in the evening, I continue to read and write. ”

Maupassant sneered, "Wouldn't you do anything else?" ”

Flaubert said, "Then what is your specialty?" ”

Maupassant thought for half a day and said ashamedly, "I'm not very good at it." What is your specialty? Flaubert said lightly, "Read, write." ”

Flaubert was the originator of the French "new novel" school in the 20th century, and he was determined to write all his life, creating classic works such as "Madame Bovary" and "Sarangpo", which are well-known all over the world.

Realizing his impetuosity, Maupassant decided to take Flaubert as his teacher, focusing on reading and writing, and eventually becoming a generation of writers.

"Those who don't read only live once; those who read can experience a thousand lives." Reading books allows people to focus on their inner cultivation and move towards a farther tomorrow.

Read books to make yourself richer

Lin Yutang said: "Those who love to read, the soul will be elegant." "Reading, the impact on a person, is slow and long-term. It subtly changes the temperament and broadens the thickness of the soul.

The poet Yu Xiuhua is from Hengdian Village, Shipai Town, Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province. Because of the lack of cerebral palsy caused by the lack of oxygen in the brain at birth, she could not do farm work, nor could she enter the university, and dropped out of school in the second semester of her sophomore year of high school. From then on, words became her companions.

After years of reading, she began to try to write her own poetry, "and this cerebral palsy patient who could not work had a language genius that ordinary people could not reach." Regardless of the love, the unforgettable pain, let her words like a full grain of grain, full of weight and strength. ”

In 2015, Guangxi Normal University Press published a collection of poems for her, "Moonlight Falls on the Left Hand", and won the special prize of the "Peasant Literature Award". In a self-description distributed to the Poetry Journal, Yu Xiuhua wrote that poetry "is nothing more than a crutch when a person is shaking around in a shaky human world." "This crutch has made her feel stable on the difficult road of life." When life is very monotonous and boring, there is always one thing that makes you have some hope for life, and that is to write poetry. ”

In the book "The Night Talk of the Hearth", it is written: "If the family is poor, it is also necessary to leave the seeds of reading." ”

As the saying goes, loyal to the family for a long time, reading for a long time. In a family, the best family style is: the elders work hard, and the descendants study hard.

What is a blessed person, a person who can read.

Reading determines the height of life

The French thinker Rousseau, born into a poor family, did not go to school since childhood, and his mother died at an early age. He lived in the home of a pastor and had to go out every day to work to earn living expenses.

From blacksmiths and shoe repairers to shop assistants, Rousseau did everything. Even in such difficulty, Rousseau insisted on learning Latin with the priest and squeezing out time to study.

He devoted himself to the study of Descartes' writings, absorbing the knowledge of great men and then internalizing them into his own abilities. He eventually published his work at the age of 37, and later became a great thinker who laid the foundation for publishing The Social Contract.

"When talent can't support ambition, and ability can't help reality, read well first." The thickness of reading determines the level of a person's vision. People who look at the long term tend to make more informed choices.

Someone asked the host Yang Lan, why do women study?

She replied, "Even if it's a housewife, she's cooking with her baby at home." In the face of the same situation, reading can make her have a different heart; the same family, but there is a different pattern; the same cultivation of children, but with different qualities. ”

Reading and writing is the lowest-cost way to appreciate. It is the best arming of the mind, it makes people think independently, cheerfully, and have a unique vision. And a person who is good at reading, seeing the world, and keeping his conscience will be popular everywhere he goes.
