A western philosopher once said, "Life begins with your own tears and ends with others' tears, and the middle process is happiness." Reading is also a kind of happiness, and I have realized different life meanings from other people's words, which can be used to measure and compare my situation. I think reading is an experience, but not the only goal. Reading makes us mature. Words bring us happiness and thinking, and let us learn how to live. I firmly believe that reading life is full and happy.
"The book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own golden house." The ancients expressed their feelings in reading. Nowadays, we modern people are busy shuttling through the city during the day and crawling around in computer TV at night, seemingly forgetting the spiritual wealth brought by reading. It is like a spaceship, leading me around the world and space. Every book opens a window in front of me and shows me an incredible new world. Respect Confucius's "threesome, there must be my teacher." Appreciate Nalan Xingde's "If life is just like first sight, why draw a fan in the autumn wind?" China's four classical novels and foreign classics, from different levels, different emotional content, deeply touched me.
The famous writer Goethe said, "Reading a good book is like talking with a noble friend." Indeed, reading is not as boring as we realize. Only by truly understanding the fun and benefits of reading can we regard it as a good friend.
History is like a long scroll, no matter how profound it is, it will eventually be turned over; History is a story, with more or less right and wrong circulating in a colorful world. Whether people experience war or peace, are in adversity or prosperity, they will always comfort people's soul mates-books.
Excerpts from American essays on reading (2)
Reading makes one beautiful/Bi Shumin.
○ 1 Beauty means beauty in the dictionary.
I believe that becoming a beautiful person is the wish of most people. Who doesn't want to be beautiful? In addition to the beauty of the soul, the appearance should be beautiful. For this kind of beauty, people have used thousands of means. Such as plastic surgery, such as makeup. In order to smooth the wrinkles on my face, I actually invented injecting botulinum toxin between my eyebrows and my eyes, paralyzing the tiny nerves on my face and bringing temporary smoothness to my skin ... which made my former doctor tremble with fear. .
○3 In fact, there is the simplest beauty method, but it is ignored by people, and that is reading! .
○4 When reading, people are focused. Because you are listening to some noble souls talking to themselves, involuntarily modest and absorbed. Even if you read leisure books and see the beauty in them, you can't help but be afraid that the case will be amazing ... long-term reading can make people form the habit of respect. There are too many people in this world who can learn, and they will follow the attitude of listening in their lives. Listening with your ears is an excellent way to make others look good. All people are eager to be valued, and every life should not be ignored. When you value others, charm will appear before your eyes.
When reading, I often smile. The wisdom and brilliance, the wisdom and incisiveness make us marvel at Zhan Yan. Smile is the best powder and decoration. Smiling can convey kindness and warmth more than any language. Some people think it is difficult to smile, and that it is a technical problem of how to control the face, but it is not. I always suspect that people who can't laugh are because they don't read widely and don't invest much. Book is a happy mine, which stores a lot of concentrated happiness factors. When you touch books in the quiet night (including online reading, of course), those factors are like transpiration powder, which fascinates your eyes. You are very happy, laughing like a spell and enjoying yourself. Some people may say that I sometimes cry when I study! Crying is actually a broad smile, because the soul stretches out and gives vent at this moment. I'll tell you a little secret: all my happiness for most of my life adds up to one place, but I can't get too much pleasure from books. And this joy, how simple and easy to store, cheap and reusable, never wear out.
○6 Reading makes us know many mysteries between heaven and earth, and also knows that there are more mysteries that have not been revealed, and we dare not dazzle the world with our eyes. In fact, reading is often dealing with the dead. The library is basically full of mummies of thinkers, and the epitaphs sold by Xinhua Bookstore are mostly the epitaphs of the deceased. When you see the endless flow of time in the book, you dare not expect and dare not be bold. Self-knowledge is the cornerstone of all good things. When you add other people's wisdom to your own understanding, say it tactfully and appropriately, your red lips are more dazzling than any beautiful color smear.
Do you want to be beautiful? Just read a book. It doesn't cost much money, but it takes a lot of time. Perseverance, perseverance and beauty, like a flower ring in May, will float to you one day and surround your neck.
