introduction
Books are tools for the edification of the soul – Hugo.
In today's era of information explosion, books, as carriers of knowledge, are still an important way for us to acquire wisdom. And there is a very strange phenomenon in this era, that is, even if everyone is against "buying, buying, buying", they think that buying books can be the exception. However, buying a book is one thing, reading a book, reading a book, and understanding a book is another thing entirely.
In the face of a dazzling array of books, we often fall into the dilemma of "buying books like a mountain, reading like a thread", it is very painful to buy books, but the books we buy are often thrown on the shelves and eaten ashes. So, how do we deal with this problem?
First of all, there is an essential difference between buying books and reading books, buying books is a kind of consumption behavior, which brings us material satisfaction and spiritual comfort. Reading, on the other hand, is a mental activity that requires us to invest time and energy in savoring, understanding, and digesting. At the micro level, reading is a thought process of understanding and feedback, and at the macro level, reading is a career of life growth.
Buying a book should never be confused with reading, let alone equating the pleasure of buying a book with the gain of reading. In order to overcome the dilemma of "buying books like a mountain and reading books like a thread", we can start from the following aspects:
1. Make a reasonable book purchase plan. Before buying a book, we should clarify our reading needs and goals, and choose the books that are suitable for us. At the same time, according to one's own reading ability and time arrangement, it is necessary to reasonably plan the number and type of books to be purchased, so as to avoid blind purchase and waste of resources.
2. Develop good reading habits. Reading requires patience and perseverance, and we can't expect to achieve it overnight, as well as overcoming the comfort zone of reading speed. On the basis of ensuring quality, we must have quantitative requirements for ourselves. Don't take quality over quantity as a shield and let yourself go. Try to push yourself, because if you don't push yourself, you will never know how fast and good you can read.
We should continue to read every day and gradually improve our reading speed and comprehension skills. At the same time, we must learn to choose the right reading environment, immerse ourselves in the sea of books, and enjoy the pleasure of reading. And if you want to improve yourself efficiently by reading books, then you can choose to challenge the limits. That is, to do your best to overcome a difficult book, especially a book that has been collected in a certain field, the process will be arduous, but every step is full of rewards. Every time we overcome a problem, every time we understand a profound concept, our hearts will spring up with an indescribable joy.
This joy comes from the awe of knowledge and also from the pride of self-growth.
3. Be good at using fragmented time. In modern society, our time is divided into many pieces. We can use these fragments of time, such as commuting to and from work, during lunch breaks, etc., for short periods of reading. This will allow you to make the most of your time and gain reading experience.
In the face of the dilemma of "buying books like a mountain, reading books like threads", we must keep a clear mind, formulate a reasonable book purchase plan, develop good reading habits, and be good at using fragmented time.
We don't buy books just to satisfy our desire to collect, nor to save face, but to read.
Reading is actually a luxury, because for many people, it is really difficult to calm down and read. And reading is the cheapest thing to do, because it's so cheap that you only have to spend the most expensive time to do it.
In today's era of information explosion, the arrival of technology makes it possible to read almost anytime and anywhere, but the number of books is important, but you have to really read them.
For fast-paced modern people, it is easy to buy books, but it is not easy to read. At this time, what we need most is the senior teachers who can guide us through the maze, and the reading methods that they have refined and summarized with their lifetime experience as senior readers.
Southern Weekly invited more than 100 humanities scholars, including Yu Yingshi, Yang Kuisong, Zhang Ming, Wu Si, and Liu Yu...... They were invited to introduce their reading experiences and experiences to readers, and the articles of these academic celebrities who read "seeking their hearts" were collected into a book - "The Gods on My Bookshelf".
These people choose books and read books, not because people turn with books, but because books go with people, and books are for their own use.
They know how to choose the right books for their readers, and 138 scholars are 138 perspectives and 138 paths to choose, which is enough to open readers' horizons and avoid many detours. How they find and confirm their own tastes in ignorant reading, and how to revive their sleeping thinking ability through reading are more worthy of discovery and thinking by readers.
