Many people think reading is useless because they didn't study hard and didn't find the changes that reading brought to their lives. I have a relative who is like this. Every time I go back for dinner, he will say to me, "Look at you college students. What's the use of studying? You just graduated from college and became a wage earner. At first, you have to do odd jobs and bring tea and water everywhere. It is not as good as those who didn't do well in previous classes and now start their own businesses as bosses. "

Every time I refute this view with him, I finally find that he doesn't listen, so I don't continue to talk to him about this topic. Of course he doesn't know what's the use of reading, because he hasn't read books himself.

I learned German in my first year at work. Many people say I'm crazy. What's the use of learning German?

I once saw a design website abroad and found that the designer's work was excellent. She was German. I want to contact her for more ideas. So I wrote her an email in German+English, expecting her reply. I didn't expect her to reply to me seriously a few days later. I was surprised that I could speak German.

She is willing to communicate with me, not only because I am polite to her, but because she can communicate with a strange foreigner in her mother tongue, which can undoubtedly shorten the distance.

Talking to an elder last week, the benefits of reading. That elder is knowledgeable. You can talk to him about politics, history, reading and so on. If he hadn't studied thousands of books when he was young, he wouldn't have reached this level.

My previous major was human resource management. Although I didn't engage in related occupations after work, the knowledge of human resources I learned in the past really helped me a lot when I started my business. I know how to conduct interviews, how to screen resumes and choose suitable people, what questions to ask to test their abilities, and how to distribute salaries. Before, I didn't know that the books I read and the knowledge I learned would be of great help to me in the future.

Life is so short, if you don't learn something and read more books, will you feel wasted in the afterlife?
