[I have forgotten all the books I read, but I can't forget the taste and temperament formed through reading! In the end, reading is about being yourself, becoming your own self! Classic books should be read again and again, because there is the essence inside, and books without thought are a waste of time to read! 】
1. Why do you want to read books, because books are an extension of ideas.
The world is too big, and life is too short to walk on your feet, so you can only rely on your thoughts to gallop. It's a shortcut to stretch yourself through someone else's mind. But it would be another misfortune to bury yourself in the minds of others. Knowing that shortcuts can be used and misfortunes can be avoided, then we can step on the steps paved by others and better achieve ourselves in a limited life.
2. The monetization of reading is intangible.
I often hear people say that after walking so many roads and reading so many books, they still can't understand it. Some people also say that what is the use of reading so many books? It's not that after reading a book here, there will be a corresponding output there. The nutrition of books lies not in eating, but in understanding, in understanding. What really changes reading is a person's spirit. Reading is to change a person's fundamental mind and drive him to another life, and if it is reading to increase one's own cultivation, then obviously this realization is the rebirth itself. Instead of superficially how much money you make, how many officials you have, and how many resources you get!
3. In the end, you have to be yourself and become your own unique self!
Reading is a kind of construction, you admire someone, read their books, and slowly build a corresponding personality and self-identity. Those who read the books of the sages will have righteousness and a heart for the world. The key to what kind of person you become lies in the construction of cultural personality such as self-identity. And the book and the charm of the person in the book are the basic materials for self-construction.
4. Happiness is an ability, why would some people be depressed? Because the book has not been comprehended and read thoroughly, the classic books have to be read repeatedly.
Happiness is an ability, and this ability is something more difficult than the exercise of understanding. Only after it can be passed, can it be reached, and after it can be reached, it can be optimistic. Seeing the world in your heart is the true happiness: bliss. The purpose of reading is not to memorize, but to understand. Every reading is a dialogue, a dialogue with the author. The truly thoughtful wise men are talking about the "guan" of the world. If you can understand it, then you can get the key to understanding the world through such a wise man. Anything can only be mastered if you understand it. Otherwise, it will be crushed by the world.
5. In some books, the author himself does not know what he is expressing or saying. He didn't understand the world, and he didn't use the key. Books written by such people are characterized by infinite dispersion and worthlessness. There are really some books and some sentences, read it once, and people can't forget it for a lifetime, that's the real "Guan Zhen" you are looking for. In fact, the aesthetic pinnacle of a truly breathtaking pure literary work is its understanding of the world.
When a person builds his own world, settles down, establishes a life, and is no longer shallow, taste and temperament come out. That's the greatest meaning of reading. I've read so many books that I've forgotten them. However, the taste and temperament you develop through reading are unforgettable.
