Reading a book that is not suitable for you is worse than not reading at all. We must have the ability to choose the most valuable reading material that best suits our needs. The following is what I have compiled for you, I hope it will be helpful to you!

Chapter 1: Archimedes who loves learning

Archimedes was born in a nobleman in Syracuse Family, his father is an astronomer. Under the influence of his father, Archimedes loved learning, was good at thinking, and liked debating since childhood.

At the age of 11, Archimedes left his parents and came to Alexandria, one of the largest cities in ancient Greece, to study. At that time, Alexandria was a world-famous center for trade and cultural exchange. The unusually rich collection of books in the library deeply attracted the hungry Archimedes.

Books at that time were bound to sheets of sheepskin, or sedge stems were cut into thin slices and flattened to make paper. After being bound, they were glued into a large sheet and rolled on a log stick. . There was no printing technology at that time, and books were copied word by word, which was very precious. Archimedes had no pen and paper, so he memorized the theorems and formulas he learned in books bit by bit in his mind.

Archimedes studied mathematics, which required him to draw graphics, derive formulas, and perform calculations. There was no paper, so he used twigs as pens and the earth as paper. Because the ground is too hard, the writing on it is always unclear. Archimedes thought hard for a few days and invented another kind of "paper". He scooped out the ashes, spread them evenly on the ground, and then calculated on them. But sometimes the weather is not good, and when the wind blows, this "paper" flies away.

One day, Archimedes came to the seaside for a walk. He was thinking about mathematical problems while walking. The boundless beach, with fine and soft sand spread flatly under your feet and stretching into the distance. He squatted down out of habit, picked up a shell, and started doing calculations on the beach.

Back at his residence, Archimedes told his friends very excitedly: "The beach, I found that the beach is the best place to study. It is so vast and quiet, and your thoughts can fly. To a far away place, he was like a seagull flying on the sea. "The magical beach and the vast ocean gave him wisdom and strength. From then on, Archimedes liked to wander on the beach, thinking and learning.

In 212 BC, the Roman army captured the ancient city of Syracuse, the hometown of Archimedes. At that time, the 75-year-old Archimedes was concentrating on mathematics on the beach and was not aware of the enemy's invasion at all. When the Roman soldiers drew their swords to kill him, Archimedes said quietly: "Leave some time for me to finish this unanswered question, so as not to leave a clue to the world in the future." A difficult problem that has not yet been proven."

As a result of Archimedes' tireless and hard work, he finally became a great mathematician, physicist, astronomer and inventor in ancient Greece. He was honored as the "God of Mathematics" by later generations of mathematicians. Read it and think about it

Archimedes once said: "Give me a small piece of fulcrum to hold the lever, and I can move the earth." Children, that's right, confidence plus science Action is your guarantee for success!

Chapter 2: Marx’s Reading Story

Marx read a lot of books throughout his life and was knowledgeable and profound. Although he has an amazing memory and can remember the books he has read extremely deeply and accurately, he always takes notes when he reads. To write "Das Kapital", Marx studied more than 1,500 books and wrote more than 100 notebooks alone. Many of Marx's notes were made by himself.

The usual method is to fold a stack of white paper in half, and then sew a line in the middle. Write the time and place where the notes were taken on the original cover, add the serial number of the notes, and sometimes add a title. Remember to keep your notes densely packed, with various marks such as solid and dotted lines, “X”, “+” and other marks made by pencils and pens in the margins next to them. For the convenience of reference, Marx also compiled a table of contents and summaries of contents for many notes, and then placed them in specific places so that they could be easily pulled out when needed without having to rummage through them. At the same time, Marx also took notes directly in the book.

Chapter 3: Gorky’s Reading Story

Gorky, a great writer of the former Soviet Union, Lenin called him "the most outstanding representative of proletarian art"

He was born in a carpenter's family during the Tsarist Russia. He lost his father when he was 4 years old and was fostered at his grandmother's house. Because his family was extremely poor, he only attended primary school for two years. He entered the cold "human world" at the age of 10. He worked as an apprentice, porter, and baker. He also wandered to southern Russia twice and suffered a miserable life. But he likes reading very much. In any case, he will take advantage of every opportunity to read eagerly in the book. As he said himself: "I threw myself on the book, just like a hungry person on bread."

He suffered all the humiliation in order to study. When I was 10 years old, I worked as an apprentice in a shoe store. I had no money to buy books, so I borrowed books from everywhere to read. The preschoolers at that time were actually slaves: they went to the streets to buy groceries, lit the stove, wiped the floor, washed vegetables and took care of the children... they worked from morning to midnight every day. After a tiring day, use a homemade lamp to keep reading.

The boss’s wife forbade Gorky to study. She also searched for books in the attic and tore them into pieces when she found them. Because of his studies, he was severely beaten by the landlady. In order to read, Gorky could endure anything, even willing to endure torture.

He said: "If someone proposes to me: 'Go to the square and beat you with a stick!' I think I can accept this condition."

Because of Gorky's life, Reading voraciously and working diligently, he wrote a large number of influential works: "Petrel", "Song of the Eagle", "Mother", "The Life of Klim Samkin", "Childhood", " "Human World" and "My University". In addition, he also wrote scripts and a large number of political commentaries, features, literary criticism, etc.
