Zhihu has a high praise answer about reading:
"When I was a kid, I ate a lot of food and can't remember what I ate now. But what is certain is that some of them have grown into my bones and flesh. ”
The books we read in our early years, like the food we ate, melted into our flesh and blood early. Every word and deed in life, and even every thought, carries the traces of the books that have been read.
Zeng Guofan once said, "The temperament of a person, because of his nature, is difficult to change, but reading can change his temperament." ”
In other words, the highest level of cultivation in life is to read seriously. In this issue, Xiaobian recommends a wave of super influential 30 books to you, and welcomes you to check the gaps and fill in the gaps
