Reading may not change your destiny, but it can definitely change you

There are roughly two types of reading, one is in a narrow sense, that is, receiving education in school; the other is in a broad sense, that is, reading by oneself throughout the entire life.

For those people who were determined to be the pioneer generation at birth, perhaps the question "can reading change destiny" is really important.

In this era of serious class consolidation, regardless of whether it is useful or not, at least relying on reading to get ahead is the only way in front of us besides having great opportunities and evil ways in life.

But in this era where even education requires a family fortune, whether studying can change one's destiny must be a big question mark.

Of course, the change of destiny mentioned here refers to class crossing. If you just want to find a job, you can definitely find a "decent" job by studying hard. It's just that when you switch from physical labor to mental labor, you can earn almost the same remuneration, so it certainly can't be said to change your destiny.

What is the purpose of studying? Do you still want to study?

It may not be polite, but the fact is that only people who have not read or read less would ask such a question.

Let’s talk about reading in a narrow sense first, which means receiving education in school.

It is true that you study so many things for exams, but have you ever thought about why you study those things?

Mathematics?

Probably a lot of people are arguing that in the rest of their lives, they can only buy groceries and calculate accounts. Who can use equations, functional relationships, etc., let alone calculus. Then why did you learn it?

I think many mathematics teachers will tell you "frankly" that there is a high probability that what you are learning now will not be used in the rest of your life, but I don't know if they will tell you further, so The math he teaches you is just to cultivate your logical thinking.

Of course you wouldn’t use calculus when buying groceries, but you definitely wouldn’t rely on intuition when buying stocks. Of course you need absolute causal logic to support it.

Chinese?

There are not many people who want to be literati and poets, and there must be even fewer people who support their families by crafting words. So why do you have to read so many obscure articles and do so many things? What about misinterpreting the author’s reading comprehension?

Many years ago, there was a joke circulating on the Internet. Looking at the beautiful scenery, I only blamed myself for being uneducated. I said "fuck" to travel around the world. Do you want to study?

Reading has never been about literacy. Who in life has not experienced the time when you know every word, but when they are connected together, you don’t know what the author wants to say?

The way of the world is about knowing the elegant meaning by hearing the sound of strings and listening to other people's words. It is better to be the one who thinks too much than the fool who can't understand anything.

English?

Expect you to be proficient in English? Don't be sentimental, even those who are excellent at English may never speak English again after graduation.

Then why do you need to learn English again? Just to give you a heads up, English is widely used, and the future of life is uncertain. Maybe those who are good at English will no longer need to deal with English in their lifelong work and life. Then who can guarantee that those scum in English will not need to use it due to certain circumstances in the future. To this so-called international language?

If English is really cancelled, will we start learning from the twenty-six letters by then?

There are so many subjects, but the underlying logic of the above three subjects is actually very similar.

Broaden your horizons and enlarge your structure. When studying in school, don’t just look at what you learn in front of you, and don’t think that what you learn is what you need to master.

Many times, what I teach you may be just a carrier, but more importantly, it is to cultivate your thinking in a certain aspect.

Or maybe it just leaves a foundation for you, and you will have a chance to pick it up in some unknown future.

Let’s look at reading in a broad sense.

After leaving the education system, in the broader life, reading has truly become a family affair. You can read whatever you want, so why should you read?

For people who work in professional industries, keeping reading is to keep up with the latest trends in the industry; but for people who work in non-professional jobs, don’t they need it?

The ancients said that "one is full of poetry and calligraphy". For those who ask why reading is, this is probably a difficult state to understand.

Let’s talk about a few small examples.

Would you believe that a man who speaks profanity and speaks freely reads poetry and books? Would you like a person who speaks dirty words frequently?

Would you believe that a violent and unreasonable person reads poetry and books? Would you like a person with deep anger and disordered thinking?

Would you believe that a person with an empty soul and no idea of ??what is called is reading poetry and books? Would you like a person who has a boring soul and a lonely life?

……

People who do not study may be able to grow up to be gentle and gentle. A good tutor and sufficient social experience can cultivate a gentle temperament.

But those who grow up to be full of hostility, develop a negative energy, and are full of complaints must have read few books.

This is what reading is for.
