What makes you start dropping your phone and going to school?
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve heard so many people say, “Go to school, that’s what you hear.” It is estimated that, before going to college, parents must have a similar lesson for you. I’d like to ask my classmates to think carefully about three questions.
Why read?
Why should we read? And why would he get knowledge?
I think the answer is more than the following: because knowledge can change people’s fate, knowledge can get you a good job in the future, knowledge can get you out of ignorance.
“The rich don’t have to buy a good field, the books have a thousand bells; I’m sorry.
You see, the benefits of reading are so great: cars, tickets, houses, wives.
I don’t deny the utilitarian value of reading, but if it’s just about the utilitarian value of reading, then I am very sorry to tell you that much of what we’re learning at university may not be useful in the future.
Being a lawyer, making a lot of money, why do I have to learn how to do it, do I have to do it with a lot of money?
utilitarian reading is bound to make you accept the values of success, the philosophy of success in our societies — if you succeed, if you are famous, if you are human, it’s almost all our values.
Success is a measure of all value, and in order to succeed, you can do whatever you want, you can sacrifice everything.
People have seen The Devil’s Voice, a young and talented lawyer, Kevin (Kinu Reeves playing) who came from home to New York with his wife, lost himself in one success after another, abandoned his lawyer’s integrity in order to pursue his interests and win his case; and kept the evidence hidden in order to pursue his victory. He sacrificed his family for his cause, even for his family, leading his wife to commit suicide.
And finally, he found out that he was actually the bastard son of the devil, and that all success came from the devil’s manipulation. It is through success that the devil is trying to get us to give up the good value of being safe.
And at the end of the film, the devil said something profoundly, “False is no doubt my favorite sin. I’m sorry.
utilitarian reading makes you want to succeed, not accept failure. But I always thought that the real success of a person wasn’t because of how brilliant you were, but because in the midst of frustration, can you rise up bravely.
Only ungenerative reading can make you accept failure. In a lot of literature and famous biography that has nothing to do with utilitarians, the failure, hardship, despair of the master is widespread. So many great souls, they have fallen, why can’t you fall?
utilitarian reading makes you focus only on the outside and ignores the inner richness. Confucius’s favorite student is a simple one, “a meal, a drink, in the alleys, a man who can’t afford to go back and enjoy.”
Confucius says that you are good at learning, that you are good at learning, that you are not angry, that you don’t know, that you are good at doing things well, that you are stable, that you are good at doing things. It is not possible to learn this in utilitarian reading.
A utilitarian reading makes people proud and proud. Knowledge is often a source of pride, of intellectual superiority, of contempt for human beings, of normal human relationships.
Cao Tsao said, “Sweet, ancient.” This could be the result of knowledge, why Chinese people always look down on each other, because knowledge makes us feel different, superior. So many intellectuals don’t know how to work together, but they’re good at it alone.
For a long time, there was no world master in China, and one important reason is that these people are too proud. I don’t know, but I think, if you really want to contribute to human progress, you have to admit your ignorance and your limitations, and you have to work with others.
Therefore, the purpose of reading cannot be limited to utilitarians, but to pursue non-utilitarian values.
In my opinion, the real purpose of reading is to pursue wisdom, not simple knowledge, which is, prima facie, a paradox: to make you feel more and more ignorant in your quest for knowledge. It’s like Socrates says, “Recognize your ignorance is the door to wisdom.”
The saying, “I have a career, and I have a career, and I have a career, and I have a career, and I’ve lost my career,” has been misread by many as an inspirational phrase — encouraging people to read more, which is exactly the opposite of what a man would say, that life is limited, and knowledge is unlimited, and that the pursuit of infinite knowledge with a limited life is very exhausting.
King Solomon said the same thing, “Many books, not exhausted; enough books, tired bodies. These words appear to be negative, but he’s actually trying to tell us that knowledge is infinite, and in the process of learning, there must be sufficient humility in the infiniteness of knowledge.
So, the first thing about reading is that you can cultivate your fear of the unknown. And as you read, you know that the sea of knowledge is borderless, and what we really know is too limited.
Reading can inspire our exploration of the unknown world, and although the knowledge of the sea is infinite, individual life is limited, the misreading of the estate by the later generations is reasonable. And it’s precisely because humans are intelligent, unlike other creatures, that we have to use our wisdom to explore the mystery of the unknown world, and to become more aware of the wonders of the universe, to avoid the arrogance of humans.
As we just said, the purpose of reading is a utilitarian and non-utilitarian purpose.
The former is for success, the latter is for the former: to enrich themselves, to avoid being poisoned by successism, to recognize their limitations by reading, to remain humble enough in the face of the vast universe and to continue to explore the mystery of the universe.
Thus, reading is divided into utilitarian reading, which is that people have been growing up, and the books that parents and teachers have made them read, which is not much to tell. Four years in college, of course, utilitarian reading is essential, and you need to learn a good profession as a means to make a living in the future, and you need to learn English if you don’t want to decouple with the future.
But more importantly, it’s unwieldy reading, which makes you feel real happiness.
Well, what should I read?
The first thing we have to do is look at it, we have to look at it. We have to read the important literature first. In literature, we can enrich the experience of our lives, and literature comes from reality, and while it’s apparent that the owner is a fictional person, they’re all a reflection of reality.
Literature allows us to know the diversity of life, the different outcomes of different paths of life. So it can teach us how to choose in the same situation.
Literary works can also be a great source of empathy, where countless individuals’ sorrows and fates allow us to experience the pain and uncertainty of our lives, and we will think of ourselves as flesh and blood, and suffering will come to us at any moment, so we will share it, and we will learn deeply from John Dorne’s sermon, “Don’t ask who the bell is for.”
Secondly, we have to understand history. If literature is fictional, history is real life.
And by reading history, we can learn more about the complexity of human nature, and you can admire it with dignity, and you can also express a chill at its evil.
We can also reflect on ourselves through historical figures, to promote ourselves, to highlight the glory of humanity, to suppress its darkness.
In history, countless living individuals have made us aware of the imperfections of humanity, and we can now reject artificial idols.
It is because I read history that I understand the spirit of the rule of law, because people are imperfect, so any group of human beings has a bad nature, so it is important to be absolutely vigilant about any power.
Power leads to corruption, absolute power often leads to absolute corruption, and any power is shackled with the rule of law.
Again, the philosophy book should read.
Philosophy is an exploration of the concept of life, and the philosophy here is not the philosophy that you used to learn in class, but it’s just one of the classes.
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquina, Cicero, Martin Luther, Calvin, Mendezho, Locke, Popple, Hayek, etc., this serial list of stars, enough for you to read your whole life, by reading all kinds of philosophical works, you can follow the footsteps of the foreman and think about where he comes from, where he goes, where he lives.
And if you’re interested, you can start at the beginning, like Durant’s Philosophy Story, and then you might fall in love with philosophy.
All art books, except for literature and history, art and music, can be hunted. An art-loving man, he should be closer to the good way. But I’m not in a position to talk about it, because I have very few artistic cells, and I’ve only read a few works of art history, and I feel comfortable, and I’m going to have to make up for them.
Of course, after the “heavy” “screw,” it’s “sweet hair.”
Monko said that reading is not a book without a book, that there must be a process of screening, that there must be no cloud or cloud, that there should be more identification, that there is no truth, that “I love my teacher, I love the truth”, that reading is like a means of transport on the way to truth, that some means of transport go faster, that some means of transport go slower, that the plane travels faster than the train, but the flight is often delayed, and that there are no good or bad things to do in small villages, that all means of transport have their own advantages and disadvantages, so that nothing can be read.
Besides, if the best transport is going in the wrong direction, it’ll be a problem. By reading, you can slowly build the right values and choose the right “roads.”
So, how do you read these books?
First of all, when it comes to looking for these books, teachers have their favorite books, and they recommend them during classes.
During college, students should make full use of library resources, and university libraries are good, at least the main books that university students should read.
Besides, if you want to read a new book, you can go to the bookstore, and if the financial conditions permit, you better go to the bookstore. If you don’t, the real bookstore will be shut down.
Second, you can join or organize study groups, a group of people to read a good book or two a month, not too many people, just five or six people, and each time one or two of your classmates is the lead reporter, other classmates, you’ll have a lot to gain from interactive discussions.
The study group on bean petals can also participate, but I still tend to have face-to-face contact with people in the real world, not only with books, but also with people.
And again, with regard to the way in which books are read, books can be read in general, so don’t take the idea of reading a book as much as you have to learn, or you go back to utilitarianism, and many of your classmates complain to me a lot.” Teacher, I can’t remember, I forget the front after reading.”
It’s for writing, or for flaunting in front of others, and the book is for reading, and Tauda says, “Good to read, not to ask much; for every thought, to forget.”
And in the course of reading, there’s a moment when you can get to the point where you’re happy and you’re not eating, and that’s the point of reading. Your heart is slowly washed.
And of course, if you think that after a book is read in general, it’s very nice, and you can read it, and you can read it, and you can write it down, and you can even tweet it, and you can share it. There are many books that can be read over and over again.
With age, the experience is rich, and the same book will give you a different touch at different times. In the four years of college, I think you’ll have at least a few books on the bed, flipping over, like an old friend, talking about it when it’s too late, and you’ll probably know more about this old friend.
Finally, a lot of books can be read in piecemeal hours, such as buses, subways, trains, airplanes, weekends, and so on.
Remember when I read Linda’s “Looking at America” series. The same students said that it might make sense to read books in a car that hurt your eyes, or that it’s not convenient, but I’ve seen a lot of kids in a car that’s crowded, and I’m also looking at mobile phones, playing games. If you put that time on the books, maybe you’ll get more.
Kafka said that a book must be an ax that rips the ice in our hearts.
Dear fellow students, do you have ice in your heart?
Well, start reading from now on!
What makes you start dropping your phone and going to school? – Roxhang said the answer to criminal law.
I don’t know.
Keep your eyes on the road.
