This morning, I sent my child to an interest class for an eloquence class, and my youngest daughter asked a question: "Why is our building a suite?".There are villas next to it, why is our house not a villa?”
I first affirmed that the child is a good thinker, and said that this question is also very good. I simply said that our building is along the street, the general community is connected to this side of the street, the developer usually designs it as a suite, and the villa is in it, as for why our house is not a villa, I answered like this.
I said that the area of our suite is more than 100 square meters, and the villa is more than 400 square meters. According to the price, we only need hundreds of thousands, and the villa costs millions. First of all, the first reason is not that much money to buy a villa for the time being, and the second reason, even if you have so much money, you don't have to buy a villa, depending on your choice, each of us has the freedom to choose.
Finally, like most parents, any problem will switch to Xi reading, and I am no exception, I said that as long as you work towards your dreams, all this will happen, and then it is your freedom to choose what kind of house to live in. And to realize the dream, reading is a very fair and convenient way.
On the way back from sending them off, I was thinking, why are we studying?
Shi Yigong: Why do you want to read?Because what is written on the text is the inheritance of human civilization, it must also be something that the predecessors wanted to leave to future generations after thinking about it. Reading can allow you to learn from others' strengths, and if you add your own thinking, you will gradually turn some of the experiences of your predecessors into your own thinking judgments and become part of your own worldview and values.
Zhou Chunlei: When I was a child, there was a white affair in the village, and my father took me to the banquet. My friends and I shuttled back and forth inside and outside the shed, frolicking and playing, and we didn't feel scared. The only thing that frightened me was the few pairs of paper figurines that were more than a meter tall, with red faces and red lips, with open arms, smiling and swaying in the wind, which made me shudder. At the time, I didn't know why I was afraid of him, but now I think it's because the paper figure has the shape of a human being, but it has no soul. Soulless things are terrible, and reading is to nourish people's souls. People who don't read use their bodies to feel the world, eat, drink, and enjoy material things, and when they are full, they are happy, and if they are not satisfied, they are miserable, and they are tired of chasing all their lives. And the person who reads is perceiving the world with both body and soul. In the world of the soul, flowers can always bloom, water can flow forever, you will not be lonely, you will not be in pain, you will not be afraid, you can talk to the sages, you can be proud of the world, you can have compassion for all beings, you can create sorrow, you can freely shuttle between the body and the soul, and go back and forth between the other side and the world. Fame and fortune are like clouds, and wealth is like dung, you are the king of the spiritual world, and that is the paradise that only belongs to you.
Li Dongsheng. I once experienced a special three years of going to the mountains and going to the countryside, during which I went to farm during the day and often read books at night to pass the time. It was reading that made me think about the possibilities of destiny.
Zhu Guangquan. Why do we read?It allows you to see the afterglow of the sunset, and what comes to mind is the sunset and the lonely bird flying together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky, instead of, wow, the sunset is so beautiful. When I saw the snowflakes flying all over the sky, I was able to blurt out that suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed, instead of just exclaiming, oops, the snow is so big, and I was stunned. If you don't study, no matter how much you walk, you're just a postman, if you don't read, others will say that the spring breeze is proud, and you will only say I'm hi. Others will say that the winding path leads to a secluded place, you will only say that the road is crooked, others will say that it is better to forget about each other in the rivers and lakes, you will only say, I want to say goodbye to you. Books can change a person's temperament, reading can open the door to countless new worlds for us, every book is a unique landscape, and every reader has the most beautiful appearance in the world.
Luo Xiang. There must be two kinds of reading, of course, I don't deny the utilitarian purpose, many students have to prepare for the college entrance examination, to prepare for other exams, that utilitarian reading, but the more important kind of book is non-utilitarian reading, because only this kind of non-utilitarian reading, you can resist the successist reading, you can calmly accept your destiny, calmly accept your own failure. Many times, a person's real success is not how beautiful he was when he was brilliant, but the key is whether you still have the courage to continue to move forward when you are frustrated and when you are in a downturn. That's why we still have to do non-utilitarian reading, because only non-utilitarian reading can provide us with a real game of life to face the storms and waves of life.
Liu Zhenyun. If you don't study, you may have a similar perspective to the people in your life. But by reading a book, you may suddenly think that the book will be transformed into your own thinking and other things.
Monman. Reading not only gives you knowledge, but also helps you feel the spring flowers and autumn moons, and helps you judge right and wrong. Why was Wen Tianxiang able to make the choice of "who has not died since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of his sweat"?That's because he's been asking himself what he's learned by reading the sagesSo what did he read?He read "Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, but its righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is to the end", he learned the truth of taking righteousness and becoming benevolent, in fact, this is the meaning of reading, he can make your emotions richer, but also make your values more firm.

Dong Yuhui. Reading is a portable refuge – Maugham. Maugham was right, I started reading because I was at a loss in reality, and books gave me a virtual world that I could withdraw from at any time. Starting from the ordinary world, what I saw was the suffering that followed in life, making people dizzy and unable to breathe. After reading more, I saw the fighting spirit that ignited in people's hearts in the face of difficulties. That kind of ancient Greek tragic philosophical color made me know in my youth that people can not accept the arrangement of fate, struggle, and continue to fight, even if it is in vain. Books later became a tool for preparing for exams, gambling on others, chewing on words, choosing words and sentences, and making a little progress, which often made me complacent. For human nature, the words are not shocking and endless. I was a good reader, I didn't seek to understand much, I didn't understand, and I happily forgot to eat. Later, books are as essential as food, tea, and sleep. Weather, planets, flowers, birds, insects and fish. Waves, monsoons, showers and frost, the rise and fall of dynasties, heroes and heroes, beauties in the twilight, and talents are unhappy. Throughout the ages, there have been ups and downs, ups and downs, ups and downs of people, love and hatred. When you can talk to the richest, deepest, most interesting, most erudite, most romantic, and wisest souls in human history, you can travel between the lines and find another self in the intersection of time and space. With passion, generosity, calmness and composure, righteous indignation, or tears, he has known the great world, still pity the grass and trees, see the heaven and earth, see all beings, and finally see himself. Resist loneliness, resist triviality, resist complexity, resist mediocrity. People who can see through the essence in one second, and those who can't see things clearly in their whole lives, are destined to have completely different fates. The same book-soaked soul and those who never open a book are destined to have a completely different spiritual experience in life.
After reading these people's views on reading, I felt a sense of peace in my heart, maybe this is the meaning of reading.
