1. Look at personality from reading.
In new york, USA, there is a research institution called "Hill Sai Psychological Counseling Center". Its director, Dr. Hoffman, is a famous psychologist. After years of research, he found that reading is closely related to people's personality. Because of this, we can understand some characteristics of readers' personality and some changes of their emotions through different kinds of books and newspapers that readers like to read in their spare time.
Dr. Hoffman summed up the general personality characteristics of people who like to read the following 15 books and newspapers.
1, if you love reading romantic novels-you must have rich feelings, trust intuition and feel that life is full of colorful sunshine. What is commendable is that when you encounter difficulties or face failure, you can fight tenaciously and will not be depressed.
2. If you like reading biographies-you must be a thoughtful person, ambitious and down-to-earth. Modesty and curiosity are your greatest characteristics. You will think twice before you act, and you will never take risks rashly.
3. If you can't put it down-optimistic and cheerful personality, feelings are more exposed. I especially like chatting and regard it as a great pleasure. When several people talk together, you must be the "central spokesman" who is "conscientious".
4. If you appreciate comics very much-sadness, pain and trouble must have nothing to do with you, because you are an optimist. Laugh often, stay young forever, behave smartly and have a funny personality, and no difficulty or resistance can embarrass you. !
5, if you often read newspapers and news publications-enough to show that you care about major events at home and abroad, pay attention to the changing world, always keep your words and deeds with the times, and don't want to be a laggard. You are quick-thinking and quick to respond to new things.
6. If you are interested in pictorial or large picture books-you must be hospitable and make friends, colleagues, relatives and friends are willing to visit your home. At the banquet held at home, you are a very competent host, and you can make every guest present come on impulse and return satisfied.
7. If you like reading the Bible, you can assert that you are honest, diligent, never lazy, and respect the wise and knowledge. When dealing with interpersonal relationships, being generous to others, being strict with yourself and being friendly to others are your important principles.
8. If you like reading books such as detective or solving crimes-using your brain to solve difficult problems must be a major feature of you. Many people think it is a helpless topic, but it can be easily solved in your hands. For some daunting problems, you will be doubly willing to solve them.
9. If you get a treasure of a science fiction book-you must have developed thinking, rich imagination and strong creativity, and always want to finish your work better and make your life better.
10, if you often read women's newspapers-on the surface, I hope you can become the best among women and be enterprising in your career; Strict and meticulous in work; Be careful not to make a big mistake because of your own fault or momentary negligence, resulting in lifelong regret.
1 1. If you like reading books, newspapers and magazines such as finance and economics, you can see that you are a self-respecting person and admire those who have made great achievements in their careers and follow their example. You want to give full play to your competitiveness and be the champion.
12. I especially like some popular fashion magazines-you are likely to pay more attention to your identity and status, and sometimes even flatter yourself that you are divorced from reality and often can't step down.
13, if you especially like reading poetry-you must be a person who loves life and everything in the world. Nature's blue sky, sea, mountains, flowing water, birds and animals are all so beautiful and lovely, full of warmth and vitality, which makes people relaxed and happy. At the same time, you consciously reflect under the influence of poetry, so that your mind can be purified, away from "false ugliness" and pursue "truth, goodness and beauty".
14, if you read history books with relish-respecting facts, paying attention to reality and paying attention to results are the principles of your communication with people, and your time is very substantial, so you can spend it studying hard or studying hard. You will never appear in such meaningless small talk, and you will never associate with irrelevant people.
15, if you are addicted to horror stories-you may be bored with life, depressed, overwhelmed by the tremendous pressure brought by fierce competition, or overwhelmed by repeated failures. In order to get rid of inner emptiness and anxiety, you have to use stimulation to free yourself, so you have a good impression on this kind of books. But the effect is not as ideal as expected, although it can make you forget your troubles and depression for a while.
Two. Reading makes people beautiful.
Being a beautiful person, I believe, is the wish of most people. Who doesn't want to be beautiful? In addition to the beauty of the soul, the appearance also needs beauty. 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.
In fact, there is one of the simplest beauty methods that people ignore, and that is reading!
When reading, people are focused. Because you are listening to some noble souls talking to themselves, involuntarily humble and absorbed. Even if you read casual books and see the beauty in them, you can't help but marvel ... Long-term reading can make people form a habit of respect, knowing that there are too many people in this world who can be teachers and will follow the attitude of listening in life. Listening is an excellent way to make people look better. All people are eager to be valued, and every life should not be ignored. You attach importance to others, and your charm comes to you.
I often smile when reading. 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. People who can't laugh, I always suspect that reading is not extensive enough and I don't invest enough. A book is a happy mine, which stores a lot of concentrated happiness factors. When you scroll in the quiet night (including online reading, of course), those factors fascinate your eyes like fragrance and transpiration, and you laugh like a charm and enjoy yourself. Some people may say that I sometimes cry when I study! Crying is actually a kind of broad smile, because the soul stretches and vents 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.
Reading makes us know many mysteries between heaven and earth. We know more mysteries and dare not dazzle the world with our eyes until they are exposed. 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.
Three. The taste of reading
Shen Kuo's Meng Qian Bi Tan said: "The ancients collected books and planted tobacco with non-flowering grass. Hey, vanilla. " The ancients put herbs in the book, which can not only prevent insects from eating, but also leave a faint fragrance for the book, hence the name "scholarly". Later, it was extended to describe scholars as "scholarly", while scholars or "intellectual families" were called "scholarly families"
From this book, I think of Cheng Yi, a poet in the Song Dynasty: "The smell of foreign things is long-lasting and disgusting;" The longer the taste of reading, the deeper. " People who have a "good taste" may enter the real reading realm if they can taste the taste of books when reading.
What's the smell of reading? I don't think we can just say "Xiang". I once published a book about reading and eating in newspapers and periodicals. I said in the book: life needs to be nourished, and eating is to replenish the body; Reading is to nourish the spirit. Reading is like eating-meals include rice, vegetables and soup, and meals include home-cooked meals, hospitality meals and banquet meals; There are western food, Chinese food and local snacks ... but no matter what kind of food, you must always taste it when eating, and all five flavors can form a delicious food. So is reading. The taste of reading is bittersweet.
Looking through a good book is like walking into a new house and opening an unknown window. What is displayed in front of you are blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, so that readers can't hold back their inner impulses, take a breath of fresh air, spread their wings of thought and soar freely. In this case, can the scholar have no sweetness?
People who study sometimes inevitably encounter unexpected embarrassment. When the truth in the book can't echo the things in real life and the things in the book conflict with the truth in life, readers will inevitably feel confused and uncertain, and even fall into a dilemma. At this time, there may be a sour taste coming to mind.
"There is no doubt about mountains and rivers, and there is another village." This poem also describes the reader's mood appropriately. Under normal circumstances, a scholar who attacks the city and plunders the land and struggles in the ocean of knowledge has to go through the depressed stage of "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way, and there is another village." At that time, he was at a standstill, lonely, struggling and really embarrassed. Moreover, readers are mortal, how can there be no noise outside the book? If you want to step into the realm of "another village with a bright future", it will be difficult to reach it without some painful struggle and choice.
Some scholars say that reading makes people cultivate their spirit, interest, kitsch and impetuous, and makes people quiet and noble. But I think that such a profound and lasting significance still depends on the spicy taste mixed in the book, or the smell of gunpowder. If there is no spicy taste, it is better not to look at it. A really spicy book, like a storm hitting a corner of a dirty mind, is invincible and invincible, and finally makes readers blush and feel ashamed, and suddenly realizes that "today is yesterday." Then, break through the troubles of fame and fortune, and the soul is pure and quiet and sublimated.
Although the taste of reading is bittersweet, it finally gives people a pleasant feeling. After all, people living in the world and living well are many times better than having no taste. I often think that without books, a long life, how many sleepless nights and boring days will be very difficult, and how boring and boring this life is. Indeed, with books, you can taste them, and the little gains you get will fill your heart with joy, and then you will be sincerely gratified, and then you will enhance your interest in reading, and then you will strengthen your belief in books.
Lin Yutang once imagined installing a Buddha lamp on the ceiling of his study. It is good that there are indescribable smells such as oil smoke and moldy books in the study. It seems that Lin Yutang dragged the essence of reading taste from the book to the outside, from the artistic conception to the environment. If a scholar can really blend into this realm of reading, the taste of reading must be more mellow.
Four. Four realms of reading
There is no end to reading, but there are boundaries to reading. I am reminded of three sentences that Wang Guowei, a modern scholar, said in The Thorn on Earth. In these three sentences, he expounded the three realms of ancient and modern achievers and university questioners. This so-called realm, bento refers to all stages of self-cultivation. Reading, as the demand of life, as a way to cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's temperament, as a noble cause to purify, enrich and expand one's life, of course, has four realms.
"A boat, a bamboo cloak, an old man fishing in the cold Jiang Xue." This is the first place. When reading, you should read quietly, maintain inner peace and innocence, endure loneliness, be willing to be lonely, concentrate on casting swords, concentrate, concentrate, and have no distractions. Liu Zongyuan's poem says: "The world has forgotten the true source of this teaching, who is chasing the world in vain", "Speak indifferently, leaving only a chorus." Beautiful spring, flowing bridges and white clouds. In the shade, it's just a book, a chair and a cup of tea. When you read it, you will feel very quiet and elegant. On a cold winter night, it is quiet at night. In the study, just a book, a person, a lonely lamp, can not be put down. You feel so quiet and comfortable. This is a reading realm of "sitting on the bench for ten years".
"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely." This is the second world. Reading should not only sit down, but also be able to read in. The book is like a dream, and one statue is still bright. After reading this book, you will be intoxicated with it, forget all about eating and sleeping, and forget your troubles. Now is really the best time. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful and the scenery is unique. Spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease. If you see all the flowers in Chang 'an and all the spring scenery in the world in one day, people and books will be integrated. This is a reading realm of "integration of scholars and people".
"once you climb to the top of the mountain and peek, you will see that other mountains look short under the sky ..." this is the third place. How many things, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, everything is paid in the book. Books are like towering mountains, stretching endlessly. When you learn to a certain extent, you will have a towering building, have a deeper understanding of things, and a person's mind will be infinitely broad, showing a broad mind and magnificent spirit. This is a supreme state of "harmony between man and nature" that transcends self, reality and things. Let our hearts sublimate the realm of freedom in reading.
"But as long as you go up a flight of stairs, you can broaden your horizons by 300 miles." This is the fourth field. There are thousands of rivers and waters, Wan Li is full of moons, and Wan Li is cloudless. Life is limited, there is no end to learning, there are mountains beyond the mountains, there are days beyond the sky, and there is no end to learning. "The road is long, Xiu Yuan, and I will go up and down." At the end of the reading, I deeply felt my smallness and profound knowledge. I will practice all my life, strive for perfection, be brave in innovation, and advocate a spirit of constant climbing, eternal progress and positive progress. Lifelong learning, taking reading as the internal demand of life, melts into blood, genes and soul and becomes a part of life. The earth endures, and the sky endures; One day both will end, and this kind of reading is endless. This is a far-reaching realm of beyond space's "integration of time and people".
