Do you know what is the highest-yielding investment?
Reading
For less than the price of a meal,
it may be someone else’s lifetime effort,
is it valuable? Buy or sell?
Relatively little effort,
can benefit us throughout our lives.
Is it low input and high output?
Most successful people in the world love reading.
Bill Gates reads more than 3 hours a day;
Elon Musk is an avid reader. When someone asked him how to learn to build rockets, he Said: "I read!";
Zuckerberg insisted on reading a book every week in 2015;
Oprah Winfrey reads Pick one of her favorite books for her book club to discuss with her friends;
Buffett took his reading habit to the extreme—when he started his investing career, he read 600 books a day— 1,000 pages of content, and I have always insisted on devoting 80% of my time to reading every day.
Reading
History and the experiences of great men tell us that reading is the fastest and most effective way to gain experience, exercise thinking, understand the world, and improve abilities. A truly successful person should be full of spirit and wealth.
>>>The monetization of reading is invisible
In the fast-paced era, many people are pursuing quick profit output. I often hear people say that after traveling so many miles and reading so many books, they still don’t understand. Some people also say that reading so many books is of no use.
It is not that after reading a book, there will be corresponding output immediately. What reading really changes is a person's mental structure and drives him to a different life. The realization of reading that enhances one's own cultivation is the rebirth of oneself. The world will change because of knowledge, and we will live a better quality life because of reading.
A high-quality life is inseparable from high-quality reading. In Shanghai, a materialistic financial city, reading can save us from the trivial daily life. Even if you achieve financial independence, pursuing perfection in the spiritual world is a never-ending process.
