As the saying goes, if you don't read for a day, no one will be able to see it; If you don't read for a week, you will start to become rough; Not reading for a month, losing intelligence to pigs.
Reading can brighten one's mind and eyes. This means that people who don't read are like blind people. Your thoughts are your eyes as a person. Without the acquisition and accumulation of knowledge, thoughts and spirits are hollow. People who don't read will stop thinking.
The purpose of reading is not to refute others, but to enrich oneself. Reading can acquire job skills, improve personal qualities, cultivate ideological depth, and meet spiritual needs. Reading is establishing one's own thoughts under the guidance of others' ideas. Don't be greedy for reading, focus on reading carefully and learn to think while reading. Independence is the most important quality that comes with reading for a person. Once a person lacks thinking ability, they will not have judgment, let alone discernment.
In the decadent Hollywood, people who lose their discernment ability can easily get lost in the colorful world of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, and so on. The sexy goddess Marilyn Monroe had another life that was completely different from her appearance: reading. Marilyn Monroe read a lot of books throughout her life, and her book list was enough to instantly surpass some modern literature PhDs. Reading has become her best way of learning. In front of the flash, she was incredibly charming, but in true solitude, it was reading that allowed her beauty to quietly bloom.
When you gain depth and height in your thinking through reading, your perspective on problems will also be different, and the realm you pursue will naturally be different. Benjamin Franklin once said, "Investing in knowledge pays the least interest. And I say that investing in knowledge is the intangible asset with the highest return rate. The more you read, the more refined you become, the more profound you become, the more intelligent you become, and the more tasteful you become. These invisible cultivation and taste will silently blend into your life.
The higher your thoughts are, the better your taste of life will correspondingly be.
