Reading is a kind of thinking and cognition. It cannot bring you a direct increase in wealth, but it can help you better understand the world.
We often say that knowledge changes destiny, but in fact, knowledge changes your understanding of the entire world and your attitude towards everything.
We continue to use knowledge to enrich and enrich our hearts. Finally, you realize the shortcomings of pride and complacency, so you learn to be humble and low-key; you realize the standards of morality and ethics, so you You learned principles and etiquette; you recognized the limitations of freedom, so you learned to grasp freedom; you recognized the inevitability of suffering and setbacks, so you learned to face them with tenacity and calmness; you recognized benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust, so you learned to Honest and respectful. /a1ec08fa513d26974a4529955efbb2fb4216d867?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85
The knowledge gained from reading does not create wealth for you, but it teaches you How to choose between easy and difficult, forward and backward, temptation and heart, reason and impulse; it teaches you what money can do and how much value it can create; it teaches you how to have a stable civil servant job. What does a high-paying job or an offer from a large company mean to you? It teaches you what kind of life you want.
If you don’t like reading, for you it is just missing a way, a way to understand and recognize the operation of all things. Therefore, you still cannot read famous books or appreciate famous paintings, you have made the wrong choice between money and morality, and you are hesitant between advancing and retreating. You don't realize the value of life that everything brings, so the same 2,000 yuan will have different income growth for everyone; the same position will have different progress for everyone. /d0c8a786c9177f3efa9dddc57bcf3bc79e3d5648?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85
Whenever we encounter a choice, hard work can give us more choices, and Knowledge allows us to better understand the meaning of each choice. The reason why we have not succeeded and have not become such a small group of people in this world is because we have few choices and do not understand the options thoroughly enough.
After a few more days and a few more books, when you fully understand the various options in this question, you will no longer ask what the purpose of reading is.
In fact, sometimes, many things cannot be viewed purely from the perspective of direct profit. Of course, one cannot judge a thing from a single perspective. Just like someone asks "What is the meaning of life?" No one may be able to tell exactly what it is for. Everyone has their own life experience and everyone has different perspectives on problems, so the same principle applies. Why study? This is a question for which there is no precise answer. /0df431adcbef76091e6db85725dda3cc7dd99e97?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85
Now, let’s talk about some of my personal views on reading.
If the reading mentioned by the poster refers to the level of education, not long ago, my roommate and I discussed a very cruel but very realistic issue. We talked about some junior high schools, Or those students in high school who did not continue their studies after graduation. From what we know, most of them are already married, or are on a blind date, and are preparing to get married. Most of the weddings were very simple, and some weddings were not held at all, and the children were already over one year old. Of course, there is no prejudice, let alone any so-called sense of superiority.
However, comparing myself with my friends who are going to school around me, I can clearly feel that there is a difference between the two worlds. When we are listening to the theory of relativity in the classroom, some of our former classmates are already carrying it at home. Children, listen to their babbling and learn to speak. When we are thinking about how to spend our youth, they have already begun to work hard for life and dedicate themselves to their families. Sometimes, I envy my friends who finished their studies early. I envy them for having a home of their own so early. I envy them for being able to get rid of the pressure of study and establish themselves in society early. However, I asked my roommate, if you were asked to finish your studies now, find a reliable man, get married and have children, would you be willing? The answer is no. Because, in comparison, these have really formed two different circles, and even two different outlooks on life. Therefore, no matter whether you benefit from reading or not, it is obvious that it creates a relatively different world and environment for you, and it subtly changes your thoughts and even behaviors. It will also affect your various decisions in the rest of your life. It not only means how much professional knowledge you will gain, but also what kind of people you will come into contact with, what kind of concepts and how you treat the world. manner. This is the difference caused by the different levels of education. It cannot be said to be good or bad. After all, how everyone leads their life depends on themselves. A high level of reading does not mean that you will succeed, and a low level of reading does not mean that you will fail. /d0c8a786c9177f3efab6ddc57bcf3bc79e3d5673?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85
Of course, another interpretation of reading is reading, reading the knowledge in the book. If this is the case, then what I want to say is, read more books, because reading is not only the so-called acquisition of knowledge and skills, but sometimes it is also the shaping of thoughts and a life experience. The book contains the hard work of many predecessors with great wisdom. Their shining brilliance needs you to understand it bit by bit from every word in the book. Maybe after you read a book, you feel like you haven't gained much, but as long as you read it seriously, it is likely to affect your thoughts, behavior, and everything in your future life. Reading a good book is like tasting a cup of rich coffee. It not only touches the taste buds, but also soothes the soul. Isn't there a saying? There is poetry and calligraphy in the abdomen. You don't need to memorize the things in the book and then show off how knowledgeable and insightful you are. You just need to feel and appreciate every bit of the book. In this way, you can naturally feel how wonderful reading is.
In addition, let’s talk nonsense. Even if you read a lot of books, you can’t afford a BMW and Mercedes Benz or live in a luxurious villa. So what does it matter? There are so many beautiful things in life, why bother to limit them? For those material glitz, if you really want to live a comfortable life, work hard and struggle down-to-earth, even if you don't study, learn from the people around you and learn the corresponding skills, be hard-working, down-to-earth, and always Make a difference one day. There is no need to worry about the necessity of studying. The important thing is to have your own thinking, have your own pursuit, and implement it step by step.
