Read more, read good books
Reading seems to be a hard job. Otherwise, why would there be people with hanging heads and thorns in their buttocks? Reading seems to be a happy thing. Otherwise, why can some people not eat or sleep, but cannot not read?
Some people say that reading is good, and there is a house of gold in the book, a face like jade, a thousand bells of millet, and a car like a cluster. Look, there is power and money, and there is even a "Yan Ruyu" who comes to "read at night". You said, is it good to study? It is true that fame, fortune, sound and sex do attract many fame-seeking people. But apart from that, reading must have some other magic power that attracts those students who are poor but tirelessly pursue the truth, right?
I love reading, not for the "golden house", nor do I hope to have "a beautiful face", but I just experience the endless joy of reading from practice.
First of all, one of the joys of reading is doing whatever you want. The master is you, it is you who study, but the book takes care of you. Imagine a big bookshelf filled with books, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, astronomy and geography, detectives, romance, martial arts...you can choose any one, don't worry. And for you, they are ready to come and go away as soon as possible. So many ancient sages and sages are waiting for you silently to tell you their thoughts. You can ask Sun Tzu for advice on the art of war, talk to Hemingway about bullfighting, and talk to Sima Qian about world affairs - in short, you are the one in charge. Slowly, you will feel that the world is so big, life is so colorful, and nature is so mysterious and endless, as if all the knowledge pictures are unfolding in your mind one by one. And you have mastered history in a transcendental way. As time goes by, this feeling of "unprecedented and unprecedented" has become more and more intense. There are very few people who do not become "bookworms".
The second pleasure of books is that they can be discussed. Anyone who writes books and talks must be a talented person for a while. Even though he is a talented person, he will sometimes make omissions, and this omission was discovered by you. Are you happy or not? There is a sentence in Du Fu's "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking": "The emperor couldn't get on the boat when called, so he claimed that he was an immortal in wine." This sentence was written by Li Bai. But you think, if the word "chen" is written as the word "ye", wouldn't it better express his drunken state? I felt so full of ambition for a while, as if Du Fu was coming to worship you as his "One-Character Master". The great discussion makes you feel on par with the author and makes you feel extremely happy mentally.
The third interesting thing about books is that when you rack your brains for a problem but can’t figure it out, or when you have some insights into a certain problem, you open a book and find that you have already solved it. This issue has been well discussed. It just scratches your itch, it's exactly what you want, and you can't help but be happy. Then everything became clear and all the hard work paid off. Nothing can change this feeling of a new era.
The fourth interesting thing about books is that when you read a good book and are conquered by its content, when you talk with your friends, the witty quotes in the book will jump out one by one. Friends stared with admiration: "We have been separated for three days, so we must look at you with admiration!" Only you know that it is because of reading the book. The little vanity was satisfied again. Is it good to study?
The fifth interest in books. It's about collecting books, since everyone is a middle school student and doesn't have much money. It’s okay not to talk about this.
After counting the benefits of so many books, do you feel itchy and want to open one? There are many kinds of books, some require serious study, some are just a pastime, and some will lure people into dead ends from which they can never come out. Since we don’t read books to use books as a stepping stone to open the door to fame and wealth, then we should read good books, books that are not only for entertainment, but also can improve us. For example, "Three Hundred Tang Poems" is the essence of our country's traditional culture. Another example is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", from which the Japanese learned about business management and employment. What can we learn? For another example, how much truth can be understood from "The Shakespeare's Dramas"? Not only read pure literary works, but also biographies and the like to see how others worked tirelessly to achieve success for their ideals.
Bacon said, "Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people intelligent, calculation makes people precise, philosophy makes people profound, ethics makes people cultivated, and logic and rhetoric make people good at discerning." In short, Reading can make a person or destroy a person, but not reading will definitely do a lot of harm but no good - let us all read and read good books!
