Books are the best teachers of mankind. Reading has many advantages, which can not only expand people's knowledge, cultivate people's sentiment, make people understand the truth and distinguish right from wrong, but also improve students' writing level and language expression ability. Developing a good habit of loving reading can benefit students for life. As the saying goes, "Books have their own golden houses". So we should develop good reading habits from childhood.
Gao Shiqi once said: Books are like food. Some need to be tasted, some can be swallowed, and only a few need to be chewed carefully and tasted slowly. Therefore, some books only need to read part of them, some books only need to know the outline, and for a few good books, we should read them thoroughly, carefully and repeatedly. Some books can be read by someone instead and then read the summary of his notes. But this should be limited to unimportant reviews and books of poor quality. Otherwise, a book will be as tasteless as distilled water. Reading makes a full man, discussion a ready man, and writing an exact man. Therefore, if someone doesn't study and wants to pretend to be knowledgeable, he must be very cunning and hide his eyes and ears. If a person is lazy in writing, his memory must be strong and reliable. If a person wants to explore alone, his mind must be extremely sharp.
Reading history makes one wise, reading poetry makes one wise, learning mathematics makes one precise, learning physics makes one profound, ethics makes one noble, and logic and rhetoric make one able to contend. In short, "knowledge can shape a person's character". Moreover, all kinds of mental defects can be improved by seeking knowledge-just as physical defects can be improved by proper exercise. For example, playing ball is good for the back, archery can expand the chest and moisten the lungs, walking can help digestion, riding a horse can make people react quickly and so on. Similarly, an inattentive person can also study math, because math will make mistakes if he is not careful. People who lack analysis and judgment can learn metaphysics, because this subject pays most attention to trivial dialectics. People who are not good at reasoning can study legal cases. And so on.
Knowledge is as precious as human blood. Without blood, people will be weak, without knowledge, the brain will dry up.
I hope that from now on, I can form a good habit of reading, learn more knowledge, understand more truth, and lay a good foundation for my future life.
