There is another sentence: there must be a book waiting for you in any problem you encounter in life.
Books can make us slow down, calm down and return to our own pace of life from the chaotic external world. Reading is a good way to settle down.
Reading gives us the confidence to return to the tranquility of daily life and the joy of a happy life.
If I say why I want to study, I think of a sentence by Jiang Xun: "Seek a sense of security in different situations." In our culture, there is an idiom called "Let it go", that is, it can be safe and natural under different circumstances.
In 2020, for each of us, the country and even the world, "safety" is the top priority. How to get safe, quiet and serene in an uncertain environment, I think of reading. Reading is a good way to settle down.
0 1 Reading gives us the calmness to overcome impetuousness.
During the epidemic, I used to read the diary of Lao Yu's epidemic every day, including data analysis and personal feelings, as well as his daily reading and daily life.
In the last diary on March 24th, he wrote:
"In fact, my happiest thing is that I have time to read books or watch movies every day.
In the days when there is no epidemic, I am busy on the road every day and I am a servant at heart. The whole person floats in impetuousness. Suddenly I can't go out at home, and I'm not used to it for the first few days. Without the noise and crowds around me, I feel lost.
Fortunately, reading can quickly bring me back to a calm state. After reading a book, I can stay in the study all day.
During my stay at home due to the epidemic, I read more than 20 books, ordered dozens of books by mail, and sorted out thousands of books in my study.
Some books have been covered with dust. I wiped it carefully with a wet cloth. It felt like seeing my long-lost old friends again. I felt guilty that they had been forgotten for a long time and silently said sorry to them. "
Reading gives us the peace to return to our daily life. Books can make us slow down, calm down and return to our own pace of life from the chaotic external world. Reading is a way to establish internal order and an important way to adjust mentality and restrain anxiety.
Reading gives us the confidence to live calmly.
During the epidemic that day, I saw my friend W's list of books, including the story of plague, blood plague: Ebola, guns, bacteria and steel, and Bi Shumin's Corolla virus. She sighed, "Bi Shumin's book eight years ago is like a fable. There is nothing new under the sun. "
Don't I feel heavy when I let her read these? She said: "With novels like Love in Cholera Period and The Veil, I can look at my life in the epidemic with a more rational and long-term perspective and think about how to take action to improve the status quo."
Lin Yutang said in The Art of Reading: "The best reading materials are those that can bring us into this meditative state of mind, not those that only report the whole story."
Indeed, reading must be combined with thinking and gradually establish your own knowledge matrix. There is a word in psychology called "locus of internal control". That is, in any case, don't complain about what we can't control, but fully grasp the controllable parts and take responsibility, so as to make good decisions. Reading is a way to cultivate our "internal control points" and can give us confidence in a leisurely life.
Reading gives us the pleasure of a happy life.
I began to reread Zhuangzi's life in 2020, wandering around, the theory of everything, the master of health care, and now I am reading De Chong Fu. Seven articles of Zhuangzi, and I finished five in three months. Copy, read aloud and take notes ... This is my fifth time reading Zhuangzi. This time, I felt the connection. I am very happy to find the connection and context between several stories in one chapter and several chapters.
As Lin Yutang said: "I think it is most important for a person to find his favorite writer in the development of knowledge."
There are indeed some people in the world who have similar hearts. People must look for a writer whose heart is similar to his among writers at all times and in all countries. Only in this way can he get the real benefits of reading. "
Over the years, Zhuangzi has been my backer. Even at the worst of the epidemic, I can sit down and "roam freely" with him, always thinking of what is happening at present, and I am amazed. Reading Zhuangzi makes me happy.
There is a saying: if you don't study for three days, you look disgusting. My advice to friends who love reading is: read more books when you are young, but when you reach a certain age, you need to read a good book, read it intensively and read a book thoroughly.
Before I was 40 years old, I also went through the stage of reading indiscriminately, and I haven't read many books I bought. After the age of 45, I began to read the Tao Te Ching. Five years later, I published my reading experience, "Being is happier than having". After that, he went to Zhuangzi's "thief boat" and is still at large.
I quite agree with what Mr. Liang Shuming said: "Learning is to solve problems, and real learning is to solve your own problems." There is another sentence: there must be a book waiting for you in any problem you encounter in life. Indeed, I found the life "answer" I wanted in Laozi and Zhuangzi's book.
Therefore, to judge whether a person is a scholar is not to see how many books he has read, but to see whether he is changing with each passing day in his daily life and living more and more fully, comfortably and happily.
In my opinion, a person who can read books and often reads books is basically a draw-"signing a contract". Yan Ruyu is in the book. This "jade" is not only an appearance, but also an increasingly transparent heart.
"People who have not developed the habit of reading are imprisoned by the world in front of them in time and space.
His life is mechanized and rigid; He only talked with a few friends and acquaintances, and he only saw what was happening around him. He can't escape from this prison. "Lin Yutang said.
April day on earth is the time to study.
