This article outline
First, why to read?
As the contemporary writer Li Qingqian said: “A day without reading, no one can see; A week does not read, began to be rough; If you don’t read in January, you will lose your IQ to a pig.
The benefits of reading may seem self-evident, but do you really understand why? What are the greatest values of reading books?
1. Cultivate temperament
As the saying goes, “a good-looking skin is all the same, but an interesting soul is one in a million.”
The abdomen has poetry and book gas from China, the vast of all things in heaven and earth, which are actually hidden in the book.
Reading good books is to enrich your life with the wisdom of others. It frees you from the longings of the world, enriches your heart, broadens your mind, refines your manners, and makes you more open-minded and easy.
Get rid of mediocrity
Reading is the best way for ordinary people to change their lives.
Just like the heroine in the movie “Wind and Rain harvard Road”, she was born in a very poor family when she was young. Both her parents were addicted to drugs, and later her mother died of disease as a result.
However, she did not give up hope for life, she went back to school, with her own extreme efforts, in the case of part-time work to earn tuition fees, in two years to complete the four-year high school courses, and finally got a full scholarship to Harvard University.
In this film, I observed how the female lead achieves extremely efficient study. The key is to give yourself no room for retreat, to do your best, to make the most of all the time available to you, to accelerate and grow toward your goals.
3. Reshape your thinking
A person who does not like reading is usually not very open-minded. As a result, it is difficult for them to realize their own shortcomings. Once they encounter a little setback, they regard it as fate. In fact, many problems are caused by themselves.
And reading, can open your pattern, reshape your thinking and cognition. The change in thinking and cognition is a qualitative change, and its effects will be as follows:
Cognitive depth of thinking => way of thinking => idea => action => habit => character => fate
Therefore, it can be seen that the depth of thinking and cognition will eventually affect the fate of a person’s life, and reading is a sharp tool to reshape thinking.
How to read more effectively?
The essence of reading is to practice and solve problems in real life.
Therefore, really effective reading should focus on the knowledge that can be used for you in the future, focus on solving the problems that you will have in the future.
“Utilitarian thematic reading” is such a more efficient way of reading. It can be divided into four steps:
1. Theme gathering
According to your current study topic design book list, I generally conduct a global search in Dangdang and Jingdong Bookstore.
2, fine screening
First, when searching, be sure to pick books that have high reviews and high sales. Then, the douban score is used to select better books. Then, use speed-reading Outlines and content to further simplify the list and eliminate books that are completely inappropriate or out of date. Finally, pick out the chapters that are relevant to the topic, and these are the highlights that you really need to focus on.
The real secret of being a great person is to learn from the best resources with many times more cognitive resources, so the cognitive efficiency is many times higher than yours. Therefore, when you choose a book, the standard must be high enough, because the price of bad choice is too big.
3. Categorize questions
Build consistent keywords to group chapters from different books so that a systematic picture of the topic emerges. Then, for each key word, you propose the problem you actually need to solve and write it down under the corresponding key word.
4. Think about output
Read the selected chapters carefully, sort out key answers to questions, the best sentences in the text, and your own thoughts and experiences, and type them under the keywords. Finally, I suggest that you hone and output a complete work of your own through writing to further strengthen your understanding and cognition of each key word.
This way, you have purpose, cognitive resources, and three sieves for reading with questions. You should read 80% fewer books and at least double your reading efficiency for truly productive reading. Famous writer Drucker once said: “Many talented people are unsuccessful in life, usually because they see talent as a result in itself.”
Reading alone does not create value, it is the changes that reading brings that create value. What you need to practice is the ability to turn valuable knowledge into your own ability.
Many people complain that reading too many books does not make any progress, because they regard reading itself as a result, there is no thinking, no practice, no output, so life is still the same, feel that they are reading “fake books”.
Third, summary
The benefit and value of reading is that it can cultivate your temperament, reshape your thinking and cognition, so that you can get out of mediocrity and meet a better version of yourself.
The most effective way to read is “thematic reading with utilitarian qualities”, which can make you a real master of reading through the way of theme gathering, fine screening, categorizing questions and thinking output.
Learn to read effectively for a long time and fill your spiritual world slowly. Then all greed, anger, delusion and love in the world will become rational to follow and have evidence to rely on, which may be the ability to see into the essence of things at a glance.
