There is a saying that when your talent cannot support your ambition, you should calm down and study. College students who have studied hard for ten years should understand better than anyone else: if we don’t study, we will grow old. The world can be impetuous, but our hearts cannot be impetuous. It should be noted that reading is to meet a better self. Every seed you sow will yield a barn full of harvest. Winter vacation is approaching, and the Spring Festival is approaching. It is not only a good day for family reunions, but also a good time for us to read and study. While youth is still there and life is not old, everyone should seize the rare time and read as many books as possible in order to meet a better self. I recommend 10 books for everyone
