I don t remember what it was like to read most of the books?

I often write reading notes after reading a book, and when I look at the reading notes after a while, how can I still read the book? Is this what I wrote? This kind of thinking.

Sometimes when you're talking about something with a friend, you don't naturally say something, and then your friend will say that you've read this book too. But I don't remember any books.

I don't remember if I didn't bother to look for it, don't worry, you know, okay?

Forgetting it means that I don't benefit from the book anymore or that it has melted in my blood, but from time to time I still remember the points that impressed me.

After a year or two, many of the books I have read do not remember the content, the plot, or even the title, and I will be amazed by my memory!

I find that I often pop up something, opinion, or thing in my head, but I can't remember which book mentioned it.

Some books will be read again, and when I read them, I have no impression of reading them at all, but when I reach a certain point, I will feel a state of déjà vu.

When I see a book that I have read, I will cry out in surprise: I have read this book before, but I can't remember the contents clearly.

Many books now look back on it and have only a vague feeling. If I had to reread it, I would think it was a new book.

Maybe I don't remember the specific details of the book, but when I suddenly saw the book somewhere, I suddenly felt a warm feeling in my heart.

A lot of the time, I saw the book or saw the title, and I remember that I had read the book, but I really couldn't remember the plot in it at all.

We have read a lot of books since we were children, but we have very little knowledge to remember and use.

When some people want to use the knowledge points in the book, their heads are empty and they have no impression; Some people have memorized classic sentences, but they can't remember them anymore when they use them.

So what are the best ways to read a book effectively and remember its contents?

First, it is urgent to establish a reading system.

From birth to growing up, if we want to make continuous progress in life, we cannot do without the study of books and the nourishment of knowledge, and how to read books and remember the content in them is very important.

To read books effectively, the premise must be to read the right books; If you are looking at all kinds of fallacies and heresies, it is good that such reading is ineffective.

1. Classify books before reading.

According to the classification of age groups, according to the classification of study, work, interests, etc., it is helpful to read books from shallow to deep; If you are looking at more esoteric books, it is easy for you to lose interest in reading.

For example, children start reading books from comic books, slowly move on to story books, to life biography enlightenment books, to various methods and techniques books when they grow up, and finally to books that teach you various strategies and tactics and improve their mental and mental health, and so on.

2. Choose different reading methods for different books to get twice the result with half the effort.

Reading reference books focuses on the method of mastering the table of contents and keywords, looking at the vision books focuses on looking at new cognition and new perspectives, reading story books in addition to understanding the synopsis of the story is to understand the meaning to be expressed, and reading academic books is to understand various terms and logical concepts behind them, etc.

3. Establish your own reading system for reading.

You can set up your own books for theme reading according to a certain topic, and for a certain problem, you can build a highway and list the answers to the problem in similar books, and answer them from all aspects; For a certain knowledge point, it can be integrated through the establishment of a network system.

Only by building systematic knowledge, fused knowledge, and thorough knowledge can you really remember it.

Second, the brain focuses on extraction, not memory.

Search for images. Please click to enter a description (up to 18 words).

When I was a child, I emphasized that I should remember everything, and when I grew up, I focused on using them.

1. Good memory does not mean smart.

Our brains are very capacious, but it's not realistic to really remember everything you've seen; If you've watched various TV shows, you'll see; People with high IQs don't necessarily have good memory; Similarly, people with good memory may not have a high IQ.

So, the real purpose of the brain is not to memorize things; It's for thinking about things.

As we age, our memory is declining, and it is not realistic to remember everything we have seen through memory; Actually, it's not necessary.

2. Build a second brain to help memory.

So what should we do?

If our brains are used to think, then I need to build a second brain through Evernote to store them; Use it to help us build a reading system and solve the problem of not being able to remember what we have seen.

1. Memory is regular, many people can memorize a lot of content in a short period of time, and most people will forget it after a while.

2. After memorizing some content, you can watch it again once or twice at short intervals, and then watch it once or twice at intervals, so that after repeating it several times, the content will be firmly remembered by you.

3. For example, if you memorize a piece of content today, you will watch it again every other day, every three days, every other week, and every 10 days, so that you will remember it firmly.

In general, there are a number of factors that contribute to this. There are various reasons for what Mr. said above, and I will not waste my words. In addition to this, there are:

First, we don't have enough knowledge. That is, there is no such level to see. When we gain enough knowledge, we will be able to understand why, why the author felt this passage.

Second, when it comes to feelings, presumably, you have also thought of it, that is, our limited age cannot understand the emotions of authors who have already experienced many ups and downs. When one day, when we have a deeper understanding of the world, we will understand the true meaning of humanity. Third, "the knot is in the human realm, and there is no noise of cars and horses."

Ask you how you can be, and your heart is far away. "With the most tranquil mind, to feel, the most beautiful language.

Because what you're looking at is the plot, not the author's intention.

To do the mouth, heart, eyes, ears, mouth, don't be lazy.

The first one is because you may not be reading a book in the corresponding field.

Just like your doubts, "In life, you see some people who obviously have a high diploma and have read a lot of books, but there are many things in life that they don't understand, including common sense?" This is what others call "reading dead books"? ”

People may not read books in that field, so how can they understand those things? Reading books actually improves our cognitive depth rather than breadth to a greater extent.

The second is because there is more knowledge in life, even if we continue to read, there will always be things we don't understand.

Warren Buffett and Bill Gates have both said in their documentaries: "We are all very fond of reading, except for work, we basically stop reading all the time." Even Warren Buffett and Bill Gates don't dare to say what life is going on, they understand it.

So how can we all understand?

The third reason is that even if you read a lot of books, you don't necessarily really understand them.

We need to live and experience a lot to hone our theories with reality.

It's like "why do we know how to make sense, but we still can't live this life".

Because you don't understand it yet, but you think you "get it". You only understand the superficial meaning, but the real deep things still need practice and experience to run-in, and you can really understand this truth after experience and thinking.

Obviously read a lot of books, but there are still a lot of things that I don't know, of course, there are many things that people don't know, that is to say, there is not a lot of knowledge, because a person lives a lifetime to learn from the old and learn, the things that are not reached, the knowledge is endless, and there are many things that you don't understand, so reading can always be persistent, the more you read, the more knowledge you have, the more you understand the truth, Of course, learning for a lifetime is in a learning process, many things still have something you don't understand, not a person can learn everything, there are always things you don't know, but more learning will still master more things, if you don't learn. The knowledge will be shallow. Only by studying more can we understand more truths.

The reason is very simple, "Cognitive Awakening" tells us that reading is just an input process, if you don't look back after reading and only be satisfied with the process of input, the knowledge retention rate is usually very low, and you can't remember what you read after a few days.

Many people are addicted to punch-card reading, only pursuing the amount of reading, and rarely summarizing and reflecting on what they have really learned after reading.

To add insult to injury, this kind of low-quality effort can lead to a blind pursuit of speed and quantity of reading, giving people the impression of diligence, which is actually a low level of diligence, and the more you put in, the greater the loss of personal time.

What's worse, there is another type of reader, who reads a lot of books, and will also make reading notes and mind maps after reading, but their reading notes just sort out the content of the book, which looks more like an outline.

Many people are fascinated by it, and seem to know the whole book well, but in fact they are just doing simple work.

This practice is active learning to a certain extent, but it is only a simple statement of knowledge, which is very different from a high-level knowledge transfer.

The way to really make yourself understand and apply what you have learned is to be able to practice the truth in the book after reading the book, even if there are one or two points of content, it is great to change your life, because from this moment on, the knowledge in the book has been transformed, and it is a huge progress from knowing to doing. That's really good reading.

Even if you read a lot of books, there are still a lot of things you don't know, this is very normal, and there is a saying that it is better to read 10,000 books than to walk 10,000 miles. This explanation is not all knowledge that can be learned in books.

1.The books are all theoretical knowledge, which needs to be combined with practice in order to better grasp them.

2.The more you learn, the more you know how big the world is, and how ignorant you are, so you will not know more things, this is a relative feeling, from an absolute point of view, people who read a lot, know a lot more things than people who don't read, but people who don't read, don't know how many things they don't know.

3.After reading the wrong book, the same kind of book, or non-objective subjective content After reading too much, the knowledge grows in an S curve, and the early reading is very effective, and the later effect is very poor, because there are a lot of repetitive things, and it is difficult to find the content you need.

Because reading books will improve your cognition and broaden your horizons. As you read more and more books and your cognition becomes more and more extensive, you will find that your knowledge is poorer, so generally wise people will be very humble, full of doubts about the world, and always think that they don't know enough, while stupid people are always very biased, because outside of their cognition, there are many things that are blind spots in their knowledge, so they see the results they want to see in their own information check room and say what they want to say. Human nature is biased, and the purpose of reading books is to enrich our existing knowledge, enable us to question our existing cognition, help us correct our mistakes, and constantly improve our understanding of the world.

Because the knowledge you gain is like a circle, the more knowledge you acquire, the larger the area of the circle, and the more new knowledge you will come into contact with around you.

Learn endlessly, live and learn.
