Reading may not change your fate, but it can change you to a certain extent!

A child told me that he was confused and didn't know what the use of reading was.

He was born in a rural area, his father was a migrant worker, and his mother worked in a factory.

He has a lot of friends around him, and they have come out to work before graduating from elementary school.

Most of them go into factories to do assembly line work.

He said: I don't know what the purpose of reading is, my parents work so hard for themselves to study, and I feel very sorry for them.

I was the only one in our village who was still in school. Although I study hard every day, can reading really change my fate?

It took me a long time to think about it.

The theory that reading is useless" is very loud, but we must be soberly aware of it

Reading may not change your fate, but it can change you to a certain extent!

Some of the things you have learned may not be useful at the moment.

But after a few years, it suddenly came in handy.

These are the subtle effects of reading.

Later I told him:As a student, studying hard is the safest and most decent way.

If you feel lost, be sure to study hard.

Excellent grades can leave more room for your future.

Yu Xiuhua, a poetess born in a rural area with cerebral palsy.

If she hadn't read and written, we can all imagine what her life would have been like.

Many rural girls who drop out of school marry and have children at an early age.

Don't pay attention to the image, dress up, worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt every day.

Because of reading, Yu Xiuhua, a peasant woman, has a richer life.

Her poetry collection "Moonlight Falls on the Left Hand" sold more than 100,000 copies, becoming the best-selling poetry collection in China in the past 20 years.

Today, she has published books, made shows, and won numerous awards.

Although her disability prevented her from leaving the countryside for the first half of her life, reading gave her wings to fly higher and farther than able-bodied rural women.

There is a saying like this:"Reading is not about getting you to the top, it's about not letting you fall to the bottom. ”

None of us can read a few books today and change our lives tomorrow;

Or go to college and change the world tomorrow.

But keep reading, and you'll see a different world.

Please believe that if you read more books, your life will slowly change.

A friend told me about his experience:

When we set up a library in a remote mountainous area, a teacher thanked us and said, "Our children in the mountains can only change their fate by reading. ”

I felt very sad when I heard this, and at the same time I thought it was incomplete and too one-sided - they had narrowed the reading.

Friends think:Reading is not the same as glorifying one's ancestors, and it may not be able to change one's fate, but it will certainly enrich one's life.

Just like when we watch "Ordinary World", even if the protagonist works in a coal mine, works in a construction site or goes to Shenzhen to work, he is willing to read, and constantly enrich himself through reading to make himself happier.

People who read and those who don't read can be seen from their temperament.

I will always encourage children to read books often, because reading books will be bookish.

"There is poetry and books in the belly", and the bookish gas is much more effective than buying other cosmetics.

Reading books can broaden your horizons and change the way you think.

It may not change your world, but it can change your worldview.

Those who have the opportunity to read are lucky.

There is such a question on Zhihu:

After a girl has been studying for so long and reading so many books, in the end, she still has to return to an ordinary city, work an ordinary job, marry a wife, do laundry and cook, marry and teach children, why bother? ”

There is a reply with a high number of likes that goes like this:

We insist on studying for the sake of that, even if we end up falling into tediousness and washing away the lead, we have a different state of mind in the face of the same work;

In the face of the same family, but there is a different mood, and in the face of the same offspring, there are different qualities. ”

Those who read and those who do not read, accumulate over time, and eventually become a world of difference.

Learn a little knowledge today, and tomorrow you will say one less word of begging.

Regarding the meaning of reading, I like this answer:

"If you wake up in the middle of the night and find that you haven't read for a long time and don't feel guilty, you have to know that you have fallen.

It's not that the book itself is great, but the act of reading means that you don't fully identify with the present world and the reality.

You still have pursuits, you are still struggling, you are still dissatisfied, you are still looking for another possibility, another way of life. ”

Reading may not change your fate, but it can change you to a certain extent!

With each of you, encouragement!
