Do you want to read a book, or do you want to finish it?

In fact, this problem needs to be viewed in combination with the actual situation, if you simply pursue the process of reading, or the result of reading the book is not comprehensive.

Reading is an act, and there must be your motivation behind this behavior, that is, why you want to read, and at the same time, you need to have your goal, that is, what you want to gain by reading.

If the motivation and goal are not clearly thought out, and you just read for the sake of reading, and blindly pursue the number of books you read, then you will lose the meaning of reading.

Personally, I prefer to enjoy the process of reading books, because I can get the knowledge I need from books, expand my horizons, and change my life by practicing the content of books, which are all the pleasures that reading brings me.

From the point of view of acquiring knowledge, I don't insist that a book must be read from beginning to end, as long as a part of the book or even a sentence can trigger my thinking, then the process is worth it. Because reading is just the beginning, the subsequent transformation and application are the focus.

Through a large number of readings, we have completed the process of knowledge acquisition, and then we need to combine our current knowledge structure to connect the new knowledge with the old knowledge. In this way, we can gradually enrich our personal knowledge system.

At the same time, we should also pay attention to the application of the knowledge we have learned in real life, and if we encounter something we don't understand at this time, we may need to go back and re-read, so a really good book is worth reading repeatedly.

Different environments, different moods, different conditions, even if it is the same book, your reading gains will be different. Formally, reading a book from beginning to end does not mean the end of knowledge acquisition, and from this point of view, there is no such thing as "reading the book".

Therefore, I am more inclined to acquire knowledge and enjoy the process of reading books through reading, rather than pursuing the formal "reading to the end".

I want to read more than I want to finish a book.

Many people have a sense of awe for books, thinking that what is written is correct, and each book will contain a huge amount of knowledge, and it feels like losing hundreds of millions if you don't finish reading it, and at the same time, our expression will generally say that you have read a few books this week, and if you haven't finished reading a book, you feel that there is no way to show off, in fact, this approach is not right at all.

I also had this problem before, a book must be read, this book will not be read if I can't finish it, even if I don't like the book in front of me but I still have to finish it, and then as the amount of reading is getting bigger and bigger, I found a problem, I have read every book, why do I feel that there is no effect? The book you read** went?

To answer the above two questions, we need to understand how a book is born.

The birth of a book is the opinion that the author wants to express in the context of the era, in other words, the book is the point of view that a person wants to express, and the purpose of reading is to solve one's own problems through the ideas in the book, that is to say, to read a book with problems, and when the problems are solved, the mission of the book is over.

There is no need to finish a book, the more pages you turn will have a small gold content, so small that you will forget it after a few days, why not read a book again when you have time to turn the page, and solve a problem in life?

Finally, remember that books are for us, not for us.

In the past, I would really want to read a book before reading a book, but when I actually read a book, I often "want to finish the book" instead of "want to read". This kind of thinking often makes my life very painful, and when you do something and want to finish it quickly, your mind is actually not on the matter anymore.

This question has been bothering me for a long time when I was in college. I didn't realize that this was actually a question of values, so much so that I often looked for the answer in some time management books. Those books can only make you "get things done" more efficiently, but they can't make you more engaged in the process.

It wasn't until I left school and learned a little about Zen Buddhism that I began to open up. Zen Buddhism is about getting rid of the impurities in the mind, focusing all your mind on the present, rejecting the past and discarding the future, and any superfluous thoughts may make what you are doing impure. In Zen Buddhism, it's called "mindfulness," and I appreciate it very, very much.

Think about it, if you go on a trip, do you do it for the sake of travel and life itself, or do you want to come back from a trip to add a little bit of conversation and write a travelogue? The answer is obvious.

It's the same in life, if you only wait for the day when you will become famous and have no worries about food and clothing, just like when you travel, you only wait to go back and write a travelogue and show off, and the travel itself loses its meaning.

Life is like this kind of journey, every book we read, every word we write, every step we take, everything we do today, is part of this trip. If we can't focus on it and enjoy the process, the whole life will become an impatient ordeal.

Returning to reading, I now feel that the pursuit of "quantity" of books is completely meaningless. If I focus on a book while reading it, not only will I get something far deeper than I can rush through it, but I will also add interesting and meaningful days or hours to my life that I never wasted.

By the way, there is a word called "flow" in many fields that describes the state of pleasure that people get from immersing themselves in something, and according to my superficial understanding, the goal of Zen mindfulness is to extend this state to every second of your life.

When I was in college, a very talented psychology teacher said a sentence that I will never forget: "Many students like to talk about how many pages they can read in a day, some can read 50 pages a day, and some can read 100 pages." But once you measure the act of reading a book in terms of 'pages', you are wrong from the start.

In the same way, if you describe your reading experience by how many books you read, this line of thinking is wrong from the start.

If you read the book carefully, you will not care, or even completely ignore how many pages you read today, and how many books you have read this year. When you are obsessed with the colorful world of books, when your concept is revolutionized, you will not care, or even completely ignore how many pages you have read today, and how many books you have read this year.

When we look at our watches, we often can't wait; When we count the pages, we often run out of reading; When we read a few books, we often can't even remember the titles. So, counting the pages and the number of books is a sign that you have failed.

In many cases, a person's attitude towards knowledge and ideas is reflected in what they use to measure it. <>

If someone asks a person who has learned a lot of books: Why did you get reborn? Why are you born again?

How should he answer these questions? He said, "I was reborn because of 200 books, and I was reborn because of 1000 books", how?

Reading is a kind of enjoyment, but if you finish reading a book, you don't have a new experience, a completely different perspective and perspective, you can't change your thinking, especially after reading a good book, you can't think clearly, you can't speak clearly, you can't write clearly, and you have never acted, then you are wasting time reading books.

I also have such confusion. I never lived in the present because I wasn't happy with my present: I felt that my future would be better than my present.

For example, I will be more beautiful, more confident, more extraordinary in conversation, there will be people who appreciate me more, love me more, and I will be richer than I am now. So I don't want to live in the moment. <>

But when I look back 10 years later on the diary I wrote when I was 10 years old, I did achieve many of the goals I wrote down at that time. But not along the route I planned. And sometimes the despair I experienced was something I never imagined.

So, I understand that it's useless not to live in the present, because the future doesn't come from our fantasies. And a very important part of living in the present is to accept yourself, whether it is past or present, or future.

Accept everything about yourself, whether you are good or bad, whether you like it or not, no matter what others think of you.

What do you study in elementary school, junior high school, high school, and college? Or a book? The former I want to finish reading, and the latter I want to read.

Reading with Huang Zongxian Perception: In the journey of Yuanze's life, it is indeed very difficult to pursue the knowledge of sages in the severe environment of unhealthy social atmosphere.

Therefore, to overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and to be determined to be a person who is heart-to-heart with the sages, and to be a useful person to the people, the society, the nation, and the country, it is necessary to meet a group of like-minded people, to temper each other on the road ahead, to hone in everything, to hone their minds everywhere, not to forget the original intention, to dominate their own hearts, to grasp their own destiny, to distinguish between right and wrong, to know shame and courage, to change their ways, to do according to a clear conscience, along the road, become a big event, pass on a virtue, In this way, we can live a fulfilling life of self-interest and altruism.

In the career of the official, people will face a lot of complicated things, face a lot of desires, so the heart of the sage will encounter a lot of difficulties, if there are like-minded friends and colleagues around to sharpen together, will do better.

Reading is to survive. In life, we often worry about survival, that is, what to eat tomorrow, how much money I have, my mother often said: "You have to study more, when you grow up, find a better job, don't be like us."

When I was a child, I studied for three years, and now I work hard every day in the countryside, working at sunrise and sunset, and I can only feed my stomach, worrying about money every day, at least you find a stable job, and you will not worry about life in the future, it can be said that studying is to survive! Therefore, you have to study hard and study for yourself. Of course, this is the purpose of letting you read, and I don't want you to repeat our mistakes.

It can be said that in order to survive, at least read more to suffer a little less!

Studying is to serve the motherland. Study hard, because knowledge is as precious as blood, and without blood, people's bodies will be weakened. Without knowledge, people will dry up.

In today's society, it is difficult for people to gain a foothold without knowledge, and it is even more difficult to find a job. Without knowledge, where can there be anything to serve the motherland? It is not so much that reading is to serve the motherland, but that reading is for oneself.

I'm a selfish person, I think reading is just for myself, reading can fill my empty head, make it fuller, just like life, you are weak when you fall to the ground, but if you drink milk, you won't go hungry. Therefore, the purpose of reading is to grasp knowledge, and knowledge is to warm my depleted body.

What is reading for? The purpose of reading is to enrich oneself and improve one's life.

2. Reading itself is the accumulation of knowledge and the improvement of one's own quality. Reading can filter out impetuousness, reading, putting aside the hustle and bustle, setting aside redundancy, and filtering out the impetuous mentality in the sea of books.

3. The meaning of reading, studying, and going to farther places is probably to stay away from those people you don't want to see, and you don't have to do those things you don't want to do, hoping that we can all be changed. If you like to read, you will be able to exchange the lonely moments in your life for a kind of enjoyment.

4. The meaning is probably to make people's horizons broader, have a clearer understanding of themselves, and not be arrogant.

5. It is most useful to see the world and things that you don't know, not to directly exchange things or solve problems, but to enjoy a very pleasant spirit, people are limited, but the mind can reach different worlds.
