In the past few years since I gave birth to my child, I have been in a bad state. The skin gets worse, the body gets out of shape, and people get older. Jobs have changed, income is not as good as before, and raising children requires a lot of money (as a mother, you know this), plus various loans need to be repaid. I feel like these past few years have been the most difficult years of my life so far.
But it is also in the past few years that I have the awareness to read more and learn more. Therefore, these past few years have been the years when I have made the fastest progress and changed the most cognitively.
"If you are ugly, you should read more." I feel deeply about this sentence. Besides, I think poor people should study more.
01 Appearances are born from the heart
There are poems and books in the belly. For people with a scholarly temperament, I first think of Dong Qing. Dong Qing has maintained the habit of reading for many years. No matter how busy she is at work or how late she is, she always reads for an hour before going to bed. This has become her habit. After years of accumulation and accumulation, she has accumulated a lot of experience in the programs of "The Reader" and "Chinese Poetry Conference". Her mastery of poetry and interpretation of literary works are all at her fingertips, which all reflect her profound literary skills.
People who are well-read in poetry and have profound knowledge have a special charm. As the founder of Fan Deng Reading, Fan Deng adheres to the mission of "helping 300 million Chinese people develop reading habits" and has read and disassembled a large number of books. It has been loved by tens of millions of Chinese people. Currently, the number of registered fans in Fan Deng Reading has exceeded 100,000. 40 million. Fan Deng not only benefited from studying, but also benefited millions of Chinese people.
In the secular eyes of the public, it doesn’t matter whether you are beautiful or not. People who read a lot and speak well will give people a kind of intellectual beauty.
Even if you are beautiful, if you don’t study, your words and deeds are vulgar, and have no connotation, just like a vase, with only an appearance and an empty heart, this kind of beauty is not real beauty.
02 Knowledge changes destiny
In 2020, Zhang Guimei, a Chinese figure who was moved, founded the country's only free high school for girls, Huaping Girls' Senior High School, with the purpose of bringing education to poor families in the mountains. Girls can study and go out of the mountains in the future, changing the fate of generations of poverty. In fact, many girls have actually changed their own destiny, as well as the destiny of their families and the next generation through reading.
Zhang Juncheng, "the first person to pass the college entrance examination as a security guard at Peking University", originally had a junior high school diploma. While working as a security guard at Peking University, he loved reading, copying books, and writing diaries. One time, I met a foreign student who wanted to come in. He didn't have any documents. Because of the language barrier, the communication was not pleasant. Before leaving, seven foreign students all pointed their thumbs down at him. This incident was a big blow to Zhang Juncheng. He taught himself English, took the Adult College Entrance Examination, and was eventually admitted to the Law Department of Peking University. After graduation, Zhang Juncheng and his friends founded a vocational school, where he served as the principal.
His and their cases truly illustrate what "knowledge changes destiny".
The height of cognition determines the height of life. Believe that if you improve your understanding, poverty will be temporary.

The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade. You can find the answers you want in this book.
Lifelong learning and lifelong growth. I believe that all the current unsatisfactory experiences are temporary. Reading and studying will make me more certain that my future will develop in a good direction.
