Although reading cannot change the length of life, it can change the width and thickness of life. Through reading, you can see the world, think about the past, talk with wise men, and talk with great people. What a blessing this is for a person with a limited life.

The significance of reading is that it builds a world of spiritual life at a level that transcends secular life. A person's reading history is the history of his spiritual development. Reading enables people to transcend their animal nature and avoid being reduced to puppets and zombies.

We cannot change the starting point of life, but we can change the end of life through reading.

Reading makes people beautiful

The dictionary meaning of beauty is: beautiful.

Being a good person is, I believe, the wish of most people. Who doesn’t want to be beautiful? In addition to the beauty of the soul, the appearance also needs to be beautiful. For this beauty, people have resorted to countless means. For example, plastic surgery is like a sword fight, or makeup is applied. In order to smooth out wrinkles on the face, they actually invented the method of injecting botulinum toxin between the eyebrows and eyes, which paralyzes the tiny facial nerves and temporarily smoothes the skin... This makes me, a former doctor, frightened.

While reading, I often smile knowingly. Those wisdom and splendor, those brilliance and penetration, make us marvel at it and read the pages at the same time. Smile is the best powder and decoration. Smile can convey kindness and warmth richer than all words. Some people find smiling difficult and think it is a technical issue of how to control the face, but this is not the case. I always suspect that people who can't laugh are because they don't read extensively and devotedly enough. Books are a rich mine of happiness, storing a large number of concentrated joy factors. When you caress the book at night (including online reading, of course), those factors are like fragrance transpiration, captivating your eyes, and you will be happy and happy. He laughed like a poison and enjoyed it all to himself. Some people may say that when I read, I cry from time to time! Crying is actually a kind of smile in a broad sense, because the soul stretches and vents at this moment. Let me tell you a little secret: all the happiness I have had in most of my life is not worth the joy I got from books. And this kind of joy is so simple and easy to store. It is high-quality and low-priced, can be used repeatedly, and will never wear out.

Reading allows us to know many mysteries between heaven and earth, and we know that there are many more mysteries. If they have not been revealed by others, we will not dare to look at the world with arrogant eyes. In fact, reading is often about dealing with dead people. The libraries accumulated are basically the mummies of thinkers, and most of the items sold in Xinhua Bookstore are also epitaphs of the dead. When you see the endless flow of time in books, you don't dare to be extravagant or speak arrogantly. Self-knowledge is the foundation of all good things. When you add other people's wisdom to your own understanding, and say it softly and appropriately, your red lips will be more dazzling than the application of any beautiful color.
