Books, I haven't read many. To be honest, I do not really like to read, just the pleasure of reading makes me can not stop, I will be addicted to, to put it bluntly, I feel very cool. Not only as than, reading has given me inexhaustible inspiration, as I'm sure it has for many others. Our parents told us when we were young to read, to read more, to read well. So, what is the use of reading? This is the main topic we are discussing today.
I think so, read a book, read a hundred books, even if you read all the books in the world, you have to say read these books what is the use, I still can not answer you. Because reading, is a very personal thing for everyone.
You say reading can help you improve your language skills? Or reading can make you earn more money and become a bigger official? Or that reading makes you kind? I don't think any of these are necessarily true. Among my peers, there are many people who have read more books than me, but I don't see that their language scores on the exams are higher than mine. The test is a test, the test is accumulation and skill, many times, I am based on skill to win, a little speculative mind.
You want to say that reading can help you make money? China's top 100 richest people, read the books add up, I estimate that there is not a Chinese professor read more books. But any one of the top 100 richest people must have made more money than a hundred Chinese professors.
So you're saying that reading can make you an official? I think it may have even less to do with studying.
You want to say that reading can make you kind? Then history is also full of unrighteous readers, reading most of their lives, all used in the sneaky, simply unbeatable.
So the question is - what is the use of reading?
I have always believed that people have their own spiritual power, it is inherent, it is your genetic code, determines your spiritual territory, how you will think, will spend what kind of life. To put it simply, it's your taste.
Reading, fundamentally, it is in the transformation of your underlying code. Changing the underlying code also changes your spiritual realm, changes your temperament, changes your taste, and then it also changes the trajectory of your life and greatly improves the quality of your life.
I've heard this idea. There are two easts in life that you can't hide. The first is coughing, you're sick, that can't be hidden. The second is poor, a person is poor, everyone can see, this thing can not be covered, how you pretend, are useless. China's undead emperor Puyi, living in the palace since childhood, every day to see is the palace in the ancestral real cultural antiques. He wanted to study, is the former Qing scholar to do teachers, to receive the best traditional education in China at that time. Puyi this person, I do not want to do too much evaluation, no matter how to say, his body's aristocratic temperament, that part of the elegant and calm, with him for life. After the liberation, Puyi in Beijing to clean up all kinds of cultural relics, experts argue, this thing is true or false, Puyi swept a glance immediately after which is true which is false. Some cultural relics he said are fake, experts do not recognize ah, why say it is fake ah? Puyi's answer is very simple, this thing and I saw when I was a child is not the same thing, you have to ask a reason, I do not speak please Chu, but I can tell you certainly not so, this thing is not right, do not need reasons. Because what I saw when I was a kid is true. It's all about taste!
I said this story, in fact, is to tell you what is called taste, taste far beyond the so-called method, ability. Taste, even if you live in poverty, you are a person of taste, your life will not be monotonous and boring, you can still have a sound and colorful and interesting life. There is no taste, even if you are rich in money, every day wearing a big gold chain, big gold standard table, you also look like an old man's hat, look flustered, speech tasteless, in short, is "embroidered pillow a bag of grass".
Back, we just said poor. The material "poor" you can not cover. Yes, "poor" this thing, you know, but sadly, no taste this thing, you do not know. Those who don't have good taste often think they have good taste. For example, I have seen a green dress, red pants square dance lady, in an interview with the media that their dance can be performed in the theater, but also to drive the people to love the arts, such incidents are actually not uncommon. Another example is that some big directors make very gaudy movies, which do not do well at the box office, and say that the audience does not have a high enough aesthetic taste. My advice to these "dancers" and "famous directors" with poor taste is the same: read more books.
Let everyone become a person of taste, a person who is free from low taste, a person with basic aesthetic ability, may be a way to make this world we live in a little better. A person who has read a lot of books, his taste will not be too bad; a taste is not too bad people, will not make too bad things, can be in even a very simple and simple life to find the dignity of human nature, to win their own respect!
