Because I think there are only two ways to say "buying books is a waste". The first is that cosmetics and clothes are better than books in your mind, which is a contempt for books. There is no need to explain this situation to her, because it is a waste of time; In the second case, you are willing to spend money on books, but after buying them, you say "buying books is a waste". This phenomenon can only show that your eyes in choosing books are really low.
Why do you say that? Let's look at the behavior of "buying books". How did it happen? The normal process is that you choose a book and pay for it. In the whole process, no one forced you to buy this book, otherwise I would be in a hurry with you; The whole process is the book you bought voluntarily. So in this case, you say that this book is not good, ugly and a waste of money. & gt doesn't this just mean that you have a problem choosing books? To make an inappropriate analogy, if you regard books as your companion, you will always meet "love rat" instead of "the only thrill".
After all, buying books is a waste. Let's talk about the three principles of buying books.
You can't buy all the books, because your home is not that hot and you are not a local tyrant. You will choose to buy books for only three purposes, one is the purpose; The second is practical benefit; Third, it is a reference book.
It's simple. You know exactly what you need. You need books on this subject. Generally, they are classic books with strong professionalism, and you will choose to buy books that require you to read deeply and take notes and read repeatedly. Because the library borrows it, the time is too short to renew it repeatedly and take notes at will; It is too inconvenient to read e-books. If you need to see it in the future, you can't find where it is, which is very limited. For such books, you usually choose to buy them, because the value they bring is far greater than the price of this book. It takes time and energy to see and explore again and again. This kind of books can be summarized in one sentence: in the era of banned books, books tested by the people.
People can't just work and have professional skills, but also need to cultivate interest. Buy whatever style you like. For example, children, buying a whole set of Xiaoming comics will not be wasted; Some people like mystery novels, whether it's tomb-robbing notes or night trips, they buy all these books, even if they have e-books. The more fields you are interested in, the more kinds of books you buy. Interest can also be divided into false interest and true interest. Some people are only enthusiastic for three minutes. They just think it's good to see others reading this book or learning a skill, and buy books themselves, only to find that they are not so interested. There is a "trial and error cost". You'd better go to the bookstore or bookstore to read the books in this field first, and make sure you are really interested before you buy them. If you don't really like it after reading it, you won't read it after buying it. It's really a waste.
Reference books must be bought. You study English but there is no English dictionary at home; You learn PPT without a basic PPT book; You don't need ps books to learn ps. You may ask: all these websites have basic videos. Why do you have to buy it? This question is the same as why I have to eat every day. In the final analysis, a reference book is a manual that tells you the most basic knowledge. You will watch small white videos, but you just watch them. You don't want to take notes on the most basic things. Since I don't want to remember, I can only buy reference books. They have memorized it. You just need to keep it in mind and use it skillfully. This saves a lot of time and cost.
Clear the principle of buying books, and then solve the problem of how to buy books.
According to my observation, I am willing to spend money on books, but the books I buy will make you say "waste". There was a problem before you bought it. You bought a book to see your mood. I think the title and cover of this book are very good. I think this book is a good sentence, or I listened to others' encouragement and bought it without checking the quality of the book, and regretted it. Everyone's reading standards are different, and the evaluation of books is different. Some people are willing to spend money on dry goods and practical books, but they are unwilling to buy books such as bestsellers and chicken soup for the soul, while others are willing to buy chicken soup for the soul. So you need to know what your needs are. What kind of books are you willing to spend money on instead of borrowing or reading e-books?
Want to buy a book on professional financial management, an introductory book or a classic book? Go to the official accounts of Douban, Zhihu and WeChat to find comments about this book. If you are interested, you can also search the quality of this book. Generally speaking, I think Douban has an average of more than 65,438+10,000 people, and you can still buy this book with a score of more than 6.8.
This is another hint. If there is a library in your city, you must use it. You can search the name of this book in the library official website to see if there are any books. If there is a place, borrow it when you go to the library next time. If the library doesn't have it and you think it's worth buying, you have to spend money to buy it.
I never advocate buying a bunch of books. Because such hoarding will cause you great pressure and even disgust. Think about it, if I buy 4-5 books a month, and the goal this month is to finish reading these books, you will feel very relaxed, because there are not many 4-5 books, you can finish reading them. But if you buy more than 10 books at one time, you will be happy when you buy them, but you will be unhappy after you put them on the table. On the contrary, there will be a sense of oppression, and I don't know when I can finish reading so many books. Here I advise you not to buy books at a discount, because you are not buying books at this time, you are just collecting books. Buy books reasonably according to your actual situation, reading speed and level. If you can only read one book this month, just buy one book. You will choose to buy it at a discount, just to save money and reduce postage. But in China, if you are so picky about buying books, don't buy them either. Because you are not in a hurry.
Don't underestimate the process of buying books. This is not an online search, just pay. The process of buying books is also a test of your choice. The process of buying books is actually the process of market research. Improve your vision and intuition in buying books. Don't regret every time you buy a book. You think it's a waste. Please buy books according to the partner you choose.
