Reading has three purposes: one is to refresh one's mind; the other is to add interest and elegance; the third is to develop one's talents and improve one's intelligence. Anyone who spends too much time reading is due to laziness, someone who searches for chapters and excerpts too much seems to be pretentious, and anyone who relies solely on the dogma in the book to judge things is a pedantic bookworm. The improvement of talent depends on reading, and the perfection of knowledge depends on practice. Because natural talents are like natural flowers and trees, they need to be pruned by knowledge. However, what is shown in books is often boundless, and their latitude and longitude must be defined by experience and experience. Only wise and wise people use reading. This is not because the book does not show others how to use it, but because its use is a kind of wisdom that is outside the book and higher than the book. It can only be obtained through observation. Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people smart, mathematics makes people sophisticated, physics makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, and logic and rhetoric make people eloquent. As the ancients said: Learning is all about nature.

Comment: Reading is valuable in application. You should remember something and be more precise to help you talk. This is application; but the more important application is to internalize it, integrate it into your own knowledge and experience system, and become the "philosophy" that guides your work and life. This is This is a higher level of “applying what you have learned”. If it is just for curiosity and decoration, reading is really of no use; if you become a nerd after reading, it doesn’t matter if you don’t read the book!

True friendship is rare, and it is even rarer between equally matched people. Xingxingxixixingxing is just the common exaggeration of the world. True friendship only exists between people of different status. Only this kind of friends can stand together through thick and thin and live together through thick and thin.

Comment: Is there any help and dedication without asking for anything in return? If there is, or it only shows the benevolence of the giver, it is not enough to explain the existence of true friendship. In addition to being free of any utilitarianism, the more important prerequisites for true friendship are spiritual communication, emotional acceptance, recognition of values, congenial interests and hobbies. In short, mutual happiness. The probability of this kind of acceptance and appreciation happening between people of the same sex is not impossible, but it is extremely low and is likely to "only exist between people with different statuses." However, if it happens between people of the opposite sex, it will inevitably have an element of love.

Beauty is as perishable as summer fruit, and it often makes the young debauched and the elderly somewhat embarrassed. If beauty is attached to a good person, it will make good deeds dazzling and make evil deeds shameless.

Comments: Beauty is like a double-edged sword, but it is a gift from God anyway. But relying too much on beauty will inevitably make people shallow and become the fruit of summer.

Young people's mistakes often ruin things, while older people's mistakes only make things that could be done more and faster be done less and slower.

Comments: It’s better to miss than to make a mistake. Don't rush things. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Don't do anything that is only accomplished in one battle. Don't do anything desperate. There is room for maneuver in everything.

Praise is a reflection of virtue, but it is also a reflection. Exaggerated praise of people or things will only offend others, and will lead to jealousy and ridicule. Except in rare cases, boasting cannot be seen as appropriate. But if a person praises his work or mission, he can appear very decent, even noble.

Comment: You really can’t praise others too much, especially if you do it frequently, it will not only lower your own personality, but also make the person being praised look down on you. If the other person really has special merits, be sincere and appropriate when praising them. Of course, a woman’s appearance, figure, clothing, etc. are another matter.
