Writer Zhou Chong once wrote in an article: "I have never worried about the lifespan of words. Because the human spirit has always been hungry." People often question the role of reading. I think this is the best answer.

When people live in the world, because of insufficient cognition, they are always in trouble and confused. Reading is the best shortcut to broaden your knowledge and horizons, and it is also the best way to achieve self-improvement.

Reading a good book can help people learn to think; reading different books can help us understand different lives; reading can heal and help us get out of pain and confusion.

I saw a sentence: "Those seemingly uneventful days will suddenly one day make people see the meaning of persistence."

Life is not in vain. There are no books you read in vain along the way. Those books you read will unknowingly help you improve your cultivation and become your temperament and character.

1. Reading is a shortcut to broaden your horizons

Ji Xianlin said: The best thing in the world is reading. Reading allows you to have conversations with outstanding people across time, space and class.

Every collision of thoughts is a revision of one's own views. Every correction will bring changes to yourself.

A good book is like a door, leading us to the unknown world. Reading more can enrich our minds, stimulate our thirst for knowledge, and thus increase the joy of life.

The more you read, the more wisdom you will gain. "There is poetry and calligraphy in one's belly." A person who has been reading for a long time will speak and behave in an elegant, true and natural way.

Speak clearly and logically, think carefully, and get to the point directly. People who read regularly are better at thinking, have stronger learning ability, and can better adapt to the changes of the times.

Reading is not limited to reading literary works, but can also be about aesthetics, philosophy, law, history... The so-called opening of books is beneficial. Books in any field can bring us benefits if we calm down and read them. Gains in cognitive improvement and growth.

Literature allows us to better understand the joys and sorrows of the world; aesthetics can help us improve our aesthetic appreciation and better perceive the beauty of things; philosophy allows us to think actively and enrich our imaginative thinking; law makes us more rational Face the world face to face and learn to protect your own rights.

As Hugo said: All kinds of stupid things, under the influence of reading good books every day, gradually burn out like paper baked on the fire.

Reading one or two books will not make us better or rich immediately, but if we persist in reading over time, we will gradually form our own knowledge system, making people more calm and peaceful, and more thoughtful and thoughtful. judgment.

Reading can broaden our horizons. When dealing with problems, we can stand from a big perspective and judge people and things with correct cognition. Everything is inferior, only reading is superior.

Looking at ancient and modern times, all those who have achieved great success love reading. Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zeng Guofan, Socrates, Plato...their thoughts have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are still the spiritual mentors of many people.

I like a sentence very much: "Reading is the ultimate weapon to eliminate ignorance, poverty, despair, and narrow-mindedness." Reading helps us no longer look at the world from the perspective of a frog in a well, and allows us to feel more about the various situations in the world. Feel the warmth and warmth of human feelings.

It allows us to understand: throughout a person's life, poverty or wealth, health or disease, happiness or sadness... everything is normal. Even if there are constant ups and downs, as long as your heart is full, you must be calm and calm, and everything will be normal.

2. Reading is the best way to increase self-value

Qingshan said in "All Realms" that all kinds of principles can be learned in books, and self-education can be continued lifetime. A college diploma only represents her level at graduation. If you don’t continue to study after graduation, you will soon be surpassed by diligent people.

Reading is a very low-cost way of self-improvement. Many people have changed their destiny because of reading, and even changed the destiny of their entire family.

Some time ago, a report in the "People's Daily" attracted me: After graduating from technical secondary school, a woman named Guo Wei, unwilling to lag behind, took the self-study law college and successfully obtained the lawyer's qualification certificate.

Later, I completed my undergraduate degree in law by self-study, and then obtained a master’s degree in law from Peking University and a master’s degree in law from Tsinghua University.

In 2012, she obtained a doctorate in law from Tsinghua University and is now a partner of a law firm in Beijing.

She was originally a nurse. Because she was dissatisfied with the surrounding environment, she read a lot of books in her spare time and was determined to continue her studies and make a leap in life.

Guo Wei’s story is a true portrayal of “reading changes your destiny” and realizing self-improvement. A few years ago, the news that Huawei hired eight fresh graduates with an annual salary of one million yuan shocked the Internet.

The minimum annual salary of these students is 896,000, and the highest is 2.01 million. These children come from ordinary families and have changed their destiny by studying hard.

Just imagine, what fate will they face if they don’t study? This reminds me of a boy named Xu Mengnan, who failed in the college entrance examination in 2008 and became a hero in the hearts of many children.

Ten years later, when interviewed by reporters, he regretted it. Without academic qualifications, he could only work in factories, doing the hardest, dirtiest and most tiring jobs, and in exchange he would be humble and at the bottom of society for a lifetime.

Ten years ago, he was very ambitious, but ten years later, he was in poverty. I believe he must have shed tears of regret on countless nights.

It’s not that physical labor is bad, but if there is a better choice and self-improvement can be achieved through reading, then why not choose a better lifestyle?

Reading It's hard, but life is even harder. You have to choose the same thing. In contrast, the pain of studying can make us grow better. But the hardship of life is the consumption of the heart. Reading is the best way for everyone to change their destiny.

By studying, students can be admitted to a good university and achieve class crossing. Working people who insist on studying can improve their competitiveness. Reading books for ordinary freelancers can improve their cognition.

I like a sentence very much: "Before a person's wealth begins, there must be the starting point of his knowledge reserve. Don't hesitate to read and study, just learn it to death."

Some people say that in this era, there is no such thing as unrecognizing talent, only having talent is not enough. Therefore, when you are at a low point in life and your talent cannot support your ambition, studying hard is the best choice.

3. Reading makes the soul richer

Lin Yutang said: "Those who love reading will have an elegant soul."

Liang Xiaosheng said: "Only reading Can resist loneliness for a long time."

Gorky said: "The more I read, the closer books bring me to the world, and the brighter and more meaningful life becomes to me."

When we pick up a book, it's like entering a different world. A good book, like a knowledgeable teacher, helps us solve the confusions in life one by one.

Writer Shi Tiesheng has been a person who loves reading since he was a child, but later fate played a big joke on him: his legs were disabled due to illness. From the initial misery and despair, to accepting reality and regaining strength.

He sat in a wheelchair, read and wrote until he became a great writer. It can be said that it was books that nourished his dying soul. Through reading and writing, he achieved self-healing and got through those difficult years.

Writer Chen Zhongshi had a troubled life. It is said that as soon as he was born, he killed several of his brothers; he dropped out of school because his family was too poor to pay the tuition; and later failed the college entrance examination.

After becoming a teacher, he was suppressed due to special circumstances; later he was dismissed from his post because he published a novel that touched on sensitive topics. After repeated blows and failures, he decided to save himself through literature.

Through a lot of reading and writing, he seemed to be wearing invisible armor. His heart became stronger and stronger, and he had the courage to start again.

Reading can enrich a person's soul, give him will and perseverance, and allow him to face hardships. Especially for a person who lives at the bottom of the valley, although he is closed and depressed, the joys and sorrows of human beings are interlinked. Reading books can help him find an outlet.

In this fast-paced era, ordinary people are easily anxious and confused, and find it difficult to see the essence of things clearly. Books, like a mentor, lead us over mountains and across rivers.

As long as you have the courage to face life head-on, you will be able to achieve success. Hermann Hesse said: "No book in the world can bring you good luck, but they can make you quietly become yourself."

A person who reads regularly will reveal everything in his movements. A calm temperament. The influence of reading on a person is subtle, slow and profound.

People who read books more often know how to seek common ground while reserving differences and tolerate different voices.

People who read books regularly have stronger thinking and judgment, and have their own values.

People who read books regularly are more passionate and sensitive. People who often read books are fearless and enjoy solitude. People who often read books are three-dimensional and interesting, and their souls are fuller.

If you want to make yourself beautiful, you should read more, broaden your horizons, and continue to grow through reflection. As time goes by, it gradually becomes better.
