Reading, reading a good book, allows us to be as clear as water, broaden our horizons, enrich our experiences, and benefit our lives. A person's life is a road, and the traces of trekking on this road become the only trajectory of each of us in life. It is impossible to walk this road a second time, and on the road of life, the scenery we see is limited. Books are telescopes, books are a beacon. Let us see further and clearer. At the same time, it also lets us know who is walking with me, who has seen what kind of scenery, and how we should pursue and adjust ourselves. In comparing with what others have seen, we should choose our own path, and we should not miss the pictures that others have encountered, and we are not limited to the sight of the pictures that we cannot appreciate. The ancients had the reading sentiment of "knowing what a hundred schools of thought can do for me" . Reading sounds easy, but not many people know how to read. If you only read without thinking, you will become a slave to books; if you only think without reading, you will also lose knowledge and lose true understanding. Therefore, the way of learning requires not only being good at reading, but also being good at thinking, distinguishing right from wrong, and knowing what to do. In scientific works, you'd better read the latest books; in literary works, you'd better read the oldest books. Classical literature never ages. You should read the books you want to read. If you treat reading as a task, you will gain little benefit. Comprehension ability is not a mysterious or great thing. For example, when you read a book, as long as you use your heart when reading, consider the problem deeply, be organized, be good at thinking, have methods, and be efficient, the result will be good study, and also It is a sign of high understanding ability

But some people are not willing to go deep when looking at problems and thinking about them. They take it for granted, do not do research, and just rush forward. The result is that they are full of mistakes and disappear over time. They have no intention of research, let alone the habit of serious study and study: some people are even big-headed and don’t want to think at all, just like a swallow skimming water, only skimming on the surface, he never knows what is under the water

Lenin’s reading speed and depth of understanding were astonishing. Once, an old Bolshevik saw Lenin holding a thick foreign book and flipping through it quickly, and asked him how many times he needed to read a poem to memorize it. Lenin replied: Just read it twice.

This story illustrates that if you want to read a book thoroughly and remember it well, you must be highly concentrated. The ancients have long said: "There are three ways to read: the heart, the eyes, and the mouth. If the heart is not here, the eyes will not be able to read carefully. The mind is not focused, but it can only read rambles, and it will never be memorized, nor can it be memorized for a long time." Among the three arrivals, the heart is the most urgent. Once the heart has arrived, is there anything missing from the eyes and mouth?"
