Hugo said: "Books are tools to transform the soul. What mankind needs is enlightenment nutrition. And reading is this kind of nourishment. " Zhou said: "reading is a dialogue with the great souls in history, so as to take the spiritual wealth created by mankind as your own;" Writing is a dialogue with one's own soul, thus transforming external life experience into internal spiritual wealth; Faith is talking with God in your heart to accumulate "natural wealth", which are three indispensable dialogues in life. Obviously, reading is indeed the most important way for us to acquire knowledge-there is no "one".
A long time ago, reading seemed to me to be the most important way to acquire knowledge. When I was in the third grade of primary school, the only electronic entertainment for the villagers was the black-and-white TV and open-air movies broadcast on Bodhisattva's birthday every year. At that time, like other children in the village, I spent the rest of my time watching TV except playing games such as jumping off planes, hiding and stealing rat oil in this natural "playground" in the village. In order to catch up with TV series, we will flock to a family with a generator in the village when there is a power outage. By chance, I came into contact with Jin Yong's The Legend of the Condor Heroes at my neighbor's house, and I was deeply fascinated by reading. Unlike TV movies, which need specific scenes and time to play, they can be watched anytime and anywhere. After reading the Legend of the Condor Heroes countless times, I began to try my best to buy books in the town ten miles away. It was my first time to go to the farthest place outside the village except visiting relatives. I put the lucky money in my pocket tightly, sat on the bus that had been waiting for more than two minutes, and looked at the rows of retreating eucalyptus trees outside the window. I feel indescribable excitement and tension inside. On that occasion, I found Lu Yao's Ordinary World in the old bookstall in the market.
From "Ordinary World" to Lu Yao, all the works let me know the life in northern Shaanxi thousands of miles away, and also let me know the Sun Shaoping family. I was shocked and moved by the story that Sun Shaoping changed his destiny by reading. Like Sun Shaoping, he walked out of the countryside through reading, replaced the faces of his ancestors with loess, and took root in my heart. Then there is Ba Jin's Trilogy of Spring and Autumn and Love, Lu Xun's series of novels, and the essays of Bing Xin, Yu Dafu and Zhu Ziqing. Playmates jumping off the plane, playing hide-and-seek games, and even the cartoon "Maruko" on TV are not as good as the wonderful stories in the book, which is boring. In junior high school, in order to buy books, I even saved one yuan for every meal at home. Going to the market and second-hand bookstore five kilometers away from school once a week to find books has become the normal life of my junior high school for three years.
At that time, I was obsessed with reading. I read books and do housework in my room after school every day. Thanks to the accumulation of reading during this period, my Chinese performance has been good. Even after the second day of junior high school, I almost didn't go to school until the second day of senior high school because of physical reasons. I also got 794 points (out of 900 points) in the college entrance examination.
But this obsession with reading went to college, especially after I came out to work, and it gradually disappeared.
I went to college and was confused by the internet, so I had to concentrate on studying professional books. As a result, the reading of literary works has become an occasional reading of Youth Digest, and even if I stay in the school library every day, I read various medical books. Maybe it's the tedium of professional books, or the wrong way of reading, which makes me resist reading slowly. Even after work, I face heavy and trivial tasks every day, and only occasionally indulge in online novels to escape the troubles after work, and I can't afford any interest in real reading. Even if I occasionally see a wonderful book review, I will buy it back with great interest. After turning a few pages, I will be sealed in the corner of the study because I have to cope with various trivial matters of life or professional exams. So at the end of last year, I took stock of my reading in recent years and found that after I became a mother, I hardly finished reading a book except parenting books.
This recovery shocked my cognition, just like a pot of cold water splashed on my face in winter awakened my stagnant obsession, and also like a raging flame ignited my determination to set sail again. I subscribed to the book ⅴ IP and the road to wealth and freedom, and I laughed at it. Besides studying and reading, I also watch Study hard by Cheng Jia and Make Time a Friend by Li Xiaolai every day.
Although the progress of reading is a bit slow, I slowly recovered the feeling of being obsessed with reading. I still have to deal with all kinds of complicated affairs and complicated interpersonal relationships at work. After returning home, there are more and more tasks to take care of and accompany children, but I can handle them calmly. My brain reaction gradually improves when I am always half a beat slow. What is important is that the anxiety and irritability that have plagued me for more than two years are gradually leaving me.
I know that these changes are all the strength that reading has brought me. Fortunately, I realized it!
