If you think there is no way out in life, read a book!

Talking about the experience in recent years, my friend said that at one stage, she was particularly anxious and always worried about what to do if one day her classmates disowned her.

My friend is a Chinese teacher. I used to teach in a key primary school in Beijing, and later founded my own education company.

I asked, "How did you adjust?"

She said: "I just told myself that if one day, I would study at home."

Of course, what my friends were worried about did not happen. Because of the good teaching reputation, more and more parents and children come here. Now, her career is booming, and she is too busy to worry about every day.

After coming back from my friend's house, I repeated this sentence: "If it's really okay, I'll study."

How well you speak!

What if he is a Chinese teacher? Inadvertently, I pointed out a way out for all the confused and anxious people-reading.

1000 years ago, Su Dongpo, a great writer, said: The moon is full and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows.

Ups and downs are the normal state of life.

Everyone's life will inevitably encounter dark moments: there is no hope in life and no way out in the future.

What should I do at this time?

Without it, only reading!

Liu Liu, a famous screenwriter and writer, did just that.

For a while, she didn't know what she could do. At that time, she was not a screenwriter and didn't start writing. She was particularly anxious and confused every day.

Later, she made a reading plan for herself, insisting on reading and reading books in different fields. In fact, at first she didn't think about what to do after reading, so she thought it would be okay to read more.

In this way, after three years of studying, her opportunity came. She was invited to write a play.

As a result, she was out of control and created many well-received classic novels and TV series, such as Double-sided Tape, Dwelling House, Gui Wang and Anna, Mind, Young Style and so on.

Compared with many cool playwrights at present, Liu Liu's creative output is not particularly high, with an average of only one work published every two or three years. But every evaluation is good.

Such word-of-mouth and achievements can be said to be the foundation of reading.

Have the same experience, and the famous French thinker Rousseau.

Rousseau was born in poverty, his mother died young and his father fled abroad. In his twenties, he is still wandering around, helpless.

One day, confused Rousseau read Voltaire's works. At that moment, his gloomy world seemed to open a window, and he finally found the direction of life-to become a great writer like Voltaire.

So he hid in the countryside and began to study crazily, reading Voltaire, Plato, Locke, Descartes and Leibniz, covering literature, natural science, theology, pharmacy, chemistry and other fields.

In this way, after several years of intensive reading, Rousseau finally has his own unique thoughts and future-oriented strength.

Rousseau, who started again, became not only a great writer, but also a philosopher and thinker. His thoughts and works have influenced generations.

As Liu Liu said, reading can bring people good luck.

If you are experiencing the darkest moment and don't know where the road is, read a book.

Perhaps, reading, the road is coming.

If you often surf the Internet, you must have brushed a similar article: "The times abandoned you and won't even leave a goodbye!" "Be careful, you are abandoned by your peers!"

I always thought that these articles were selling "poisoned chicken soup" for anxiety.

But now it seems that although chicken soup is toxic, it also makes sense.

In this era, the update iteration is really fast, and you may really be left behind if you are not careful.

For example, the "35-year-old crisis" in the workplace: many companies don't like to recruit employees over 35.

Then, how can the 35+ that the recruited enterprises "dislike" improve their competitiveness?

Answer in golden sentences-making yourself better is the key to solving all problems!

The person who shouts this golden sentence is called a fierce cat. This sentence is also a true portrayal of his life.

A fierce cat turned out to be an English training teacher in a small town. 20 15, I don't know why I am "unemployed".

He was 28 years old that year, not far from 35 years old, nor near.

But he decided to start over. He took his only savings of 6,543.8+10,000 yuan and 654.38+ 06 books to the big city of Shanghai in woven bags.

Starting over, the direction he chose was to grow from the media.

To help others grow, we must first learn to grow by ourselves.

So, he began to study and study crazily. For a long time, he slept with a book in his arms. Half of the bed is a book and the other half is him.

In order to help students better, he read nearly 3000 books in five years.

Nowadays, a fierce cat has already become a cow from the media circle, and the annual income of IP in the field of knowledge payment exceeds 10 million.

He once wrote 10 the secret of his success, and the first one was reading.

Yes, what other way to make yourself better is simpler, more direct and more efficient than reading more books?

The Journal of Economics conducted a survey on the relationship between reading and income.

In other words, if you study more when you are young, your future income will be higher than the social average.

Note that there is a word here: "voluntary reading".

What do you mean? That is, books other than compulsory textbooks and reading materials in schools.

So, you see, the ancients said that "there is a golden house in the book" and "there is Yan Ruyu in the book", which is really not a fabrication.

In recent years, there is a physical concept that is particularly hot-the law of entropy increase.

The law of entropy increase is considered as the ultimate evolution law of the universe, and its professional definition is:

Sounds obscure, doesn't it?

In fact, in popular terms, all the good things in life will not happen naturally. It takes effort and effort to get it.

When you don't work hard, don't do anything, and everything goes with the flow, everything will get worse and worse until it dies.

For example, if you want to be thin, you have to be self-disciplined, control your diet and keep exercising.

For example, if you want to get a high score in the exam, you have to turn on the light and stay up late. You have to finish reading and reciting the questions.

The laws of the universe determine that good things will not happen automatically, and what happens automatically will not be good things, such as gaining weight and becoming ugly.

But reading is different. As long as you are willing to read more books, good things will happen naturally.

As Dong Qing said: "All the books I have read will not be read for nothing, and will always help me to perform better in a certain occasion in the future."

Reading one or two books may not tell the difference. Read more books, eat knowledge into your stomach, melt it into your bones, melt it into your blood, and your thinking, knowledge and pattern will naturally improve.

Therefore, people from all walks of life are people who love reading.

It is said that Buffett spends half his waking hours reading books.

His partner Charles Munger is an avid reader.

Munger said: There is no smart person I have met in my life who doesn't read every day-no, none. My children all laugh at me and say that I am a two-legged book.

And the great leader, Grandpa Mao. His highest education is only a normal school. He has never studied in a university, nor has he studied abroad.

But he is more insightful than many people who have read famous schools and studied abroad.

Why?

Because he loved reading all his life.

When he was young, his favorite place to go was the library. He read a lot of books there. By reading a lot of books about history, philosophy, art and law in China and the West, he not only accumulated excellent knowledge and profound thoughts, but also explored the road and future of China's revolution.

I watched Wan Weigang's column class the other day.

Some readers asked in the comment area: Why do you find that knowing is different from not knowing every time someone puts forward an idea? Why is there no ability to summarize opinions and opinions?

Wan Weigang replied: A thousand words converge into one sentence-read more books.

You hit the nail on the head.

If you feel there is no way out, read more books. If you want to be better, read more books. If you want to be smart, read more books.

Reading should be one of the few investments in the world.

Although reading can make beauty happen naturally. But naturally there are also fast and slow.

If you want to study more efficiently, let good things happen earlier. You must use effective reading methods.

Recommend four methods for everyone.

1. Be sure to read it again.

People's brain power is limited, and what they can understand at a time is also limited. Therefore, a good book must be read the second time, the third time, and you can find something new every time you read it.

Zhu Guangqian, a master of aesthetics, also said: Any book worth reading should be read at least twice. The first quick reading focuses on awakening the theme and characteristics of the whole article. Read slowly for the second time and critically measure the content of the book.

2. Be sure to take reading notes.

The teacher told us from an early age that a good memory is not as good as bad writing. Taking notes helps us to understand and review later.

However, taking notes is not copying and pasting, but recording your own thoughts and summaries.

3. Be sure to export your ideas.

Reading is like eating. You don't just eat seaweed and put it in your stomach. You must digest it. According to what you read, outputting your own ideas is the best way to digest and absorb.

How to output? Write an article, record a video and tell it to others.

4. read a lot.

As we all know, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. If you want to get fission energy from books, you must read a lot and read more books in different fields and styles.

Only quantity can talk about quality.

Finally, let's talk about the friend at the beginning.

I remember the first time I went to her house, which was particularly shocking. There is no TV and sofa in the living room. Two rows of bookshelves are full of books, with two big tables in the middle.

This is not a home, but a library.

Every night and weekend, the family sits around the table and studies separately. The picture is really full of books, full of quiet years.

My friend said that although she is too busy to eat and sleep well now, she still takes an hour out to study every day.

I finally understand why her career and life are more exciting than most people, and everything goes smoothly.

Maybe this is the energy that reading brings to her.

Life is certainly not bad for those who love reading.
