The same is true of reading. People who don't like reading are like people who can't taste coffee. When reading, they only know pain, not happiness. People who love reading, just like people who can taste coffee, can taste the charm of books and enter the realm of music when reading. So, how can we achieve the state of reading pleasure?
First of all, we should forget the hardships. Now most students say that reading is difficult. Admittedly, the pressure of exams and further studies stifled students' interest in reading, but some students had to learn.
It is also an indisputable fact that students will not find pleasure and value from reading. Most ancient people shook their heads and liked reading; At present, when studying, most people are sad and tired of learning. Why do people at all times and all over the world have such different moods when studying? One undeniable reason is that the fast-paced life nowadays makes people unable to calm down and study hard. Over time, they get upset when they see books. In my opinion, this is not the root cause of the problem. The root cause of the problem is our new people's mentality.
If you don't have peace of mind, it's hard to achieve anything. It's not that reading is difficult, but that we can't restrain our restless heart. Today's colorful life has captured the hearts of many students. Compared with entertainment, reading is of course bitter. In addition, the distress of reading is because we put too much emphasis on utility. Mr. Lin Yutang once said: "It is sad that the purpose of reading is lost in the heart of seeking fame and profit." Reading is not utilitarian. If you study with utilitarian heart, will it be interesting? Or Mr. Lin Yutang put it well: "Reading is a spiritual activity." It seems that the premise of happy reading is to settle the restless heart.
As for reading, I think the most important thing is to study with my own life. Only in this way, the fun of reading will be as brilliant as "there is no way to recover from the mountains and rivers, and there is another village." I think there are two ways to read. One is to read with your own eyes, which is low-level reading; The other is to study with life, which is the real study. Only those who study with their lives can really read. At this time, reading is not a burden, but a good life.
Only by swimming in the sea of books can our thoughts see through Wan Li and think for thousands of years before we can swim to Wan Ren. In books, we can talk with nature and society.
We can chat with masters, from astronomy to geography, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and we are everywhere. In the book, we can know Confucius and Zhuangzi, and we can know Qu Yuan and Wen Tianxiang. In the book, we can learn about Homer and Balzac, Hugo and Wordsworth, Rousseau and Kant. The most important thing is that through reading, our personality has been improved and our thoughts have been sublimated. After years of hard work, we can even become masters-there is no master who is not nourished by books.
Of course, reading is not an easy task for us. Because we are too afraid of low test scores, too afraid of losing, too afraid of the disappointed eyes of teachers and parents, too afraid of loneliness.
If a book is a sail and a good mood is the wind, then the pleasure of reading is a voyage of exploration.
