Reading, reading a good book, makes us clear as water, broadens our horizons, enriches our experience and benefits our whole life. A person's life is a road, and the trail of trudging on this road has become the only track for each of us. It is impossible to take this road twice, but on the road of life, the scenery we see is limited. Books are binoculars, and books are lamps. Let us see further and more clearly. At the same time, let us know who walked with me, who saw what kind of scenery, and how we should pursue and adjust ourselves. In comparison with what others see, choosing your own way is not bad for the pictures that others encounter, and it is not limited to the pictures that you can't appreciate. The ancients had the reading feeling of "learning from others and using them for our own use". Reading is easier said than done. Not many people can read. Reading without thinking will lead to becoming a slave to books; If you just think without learning, you will lose your knowledge and get no real understanding. Therefore, the way to learn is not only to be good at reading, but also to be good at thinking, to distinguish right from wrong, and to integrate knowledge with practice. In scientific works, you'd better read the latest books; In literary works, you'd better read the oldest books. Classical literary works will never age. You should read what you want to read. If you regard reading as a task, you will get little benefit. Understanding ability is not something mysterious or great, such as learning. When you read a book, as long as you are attentive, thoughtful, methodical, good at thinking and efficient, the result is that you learn well, that is, your understanding ability is high.
However, some people are unwilling to think deeply when they look at the problem. They take it for granted, don't do textual research, and rush headlong. As a result, they made a lot of mistakes. After a long time, they lose their mind to study and have no habit of studying hard. Some people don't even want to think at all, just like swallows only skim on the water and never know what is underwater.
Lenin's reading speed and understanding depth are amazing. Once, an old Bolshevik saw Lenin leafing through a thick foreign language document and asked him how many times he had to recite a poem. Lenin replied: Just read it twice.
This story shows that if you want to finish reading and remember a book thoroughly, you must concentrate on it. The ancients said long ago: "There are three kinds of reading: heart, eyes and mouth." If your heart is not here, you won't look carefully. Not single-minded, only read but not remember, remember for a long time. Of the three, the heart is the most urgent. Since the heart is here, what about the eyes and mouth? "
