understanding can determine how wide a road is.
Reading comprehension is a basic skill, especially important. It affects your memory, your expression, your thinking, and your communication.
Sometimes you think, “Why can’t I remember anything?”?
Then I blame my memory for being too poor, and I want to learn some memory methods.
In fact, no, it is possible that your understanding and reading ability are too poor, there is no way to read and understand the material well, and there is no way to stratify the material and find its logical line, so you can’t remember it.
I have had problems with memory, and nine of them have problems with reading comprehension.
Others feel that the expression can be poor, often do not know what to say, do not speak, do not know how to react, that is because the brain has no inventory.
That is to say, in his mind, the information input is too little, so there is nothing to say, can not think of what to say.
There is also the ability to think, many feel that thinking is not clear, that is because the ability to process information is not enough, may pile things in your brain is not organized, no logic, the more you think, the more confused.
Reading comprehension is to process information. After seeing this thing, I have to read it and understand it, which is to process the information that this thing gives me.
So if the reading comprehension ability is not strong and the ability to process information is weak, the mind will not think clearly.

If a person has no problem in reading comprehension, then when he listens to others, he can understand what logic the words are, what the key point of this passage is, and it is easy to understand other meanings, and it is easier to communicate with others.
So reading comprehension ability, in fact, all of these, including thinking ability, including communication ability, including expression ability, including the bottom of memory ability, is particularly important.
This is why we must read in quantity, and the benefits of reading in quantity are many.
First of all, reading can make reason, if not reading, it is easy to lack reason.
Because if a person does not read, then his judgment of everything basically comes from his experience.
But how much experience can a generation have? His essence is sometimes quite thin, so when he looks at things, it is easy for him to lack rationality, listen to one side and believe one side, and lack the ability to think critically.
When a person has no idea or concept about a thing, it is easy to follow blindly.
For example, the last time I heard you sell a slimming tea, saying that slimming tea can not only lose weight, but also be very healthy.
Health is reflected in the fact that after you drink this tea, you find that your fatty liver is better, your body fat rate has increased or decreased, in short, your experience has become better. There is a saying at the
scene: “I just drink the slimming tea, and I’ll be fine.”.
From experience, most people suspect that this statement may be a fake?
But what would you think if you ate it and found that it could really cure your fatty liver? Do
you think it is very reliable?
You will feel very safe, good health, is a very good weight loss tea, you buy, recommend to your friends.
But if you read a little bit more, like when I saw the slimming tea, I remembered that I had read a book about medicine before, saying that many medicines can cure this disease, but can cause that disease.
I think it may make your fatty liver better, but it does not mean that tea is healthy, because you do not know its impact on other functions of your body, so I will be very cautious and will not buy it easily, which shows rationality.
This is a source of judgment. When you see a statement or a practice, you think it is right and you believe it.
But you have seen the opposite statement and practice, in these two statements and practices, you have to choose which one to believe, this process is judgment.
So the more you read, the more information you have in your mind, the more you know about different views of things, and the stronger your judgment will be at this time. The first advantage of
reading is that books are a very valuable educational resource, and reading good books is a shortcut.
You say, “I don’t have the money to go to after-school classes, and I don’t have the money to travel.”.
It doesn’t matter, you can read.
Because good education, in fact, is not in schools, especially in the current exam-oriented education system, the kind of school that can only teach examinations, good education in books.
If I give my child in the future, I can only choose an extra-curricular class.
I’m not going to take the dance, I’m not going to take the piano, I’m going to take the reading.
You can read books, talk directly to Bill Gates, and learn directly from Buffett.
When you want to learn, you should read good books. Books can take you to break through your reality and talk to the smartest and best people in the world.
Many of them neglect this resource. In their lives, they would rather find a friend who is not in tune at all to chat with, and would rather find a teacher who is not reliable at all to consult. They are not willing to read, so they completely waste the resource of good books. The third advantage of
reading is that it can make people believe.
We divide this letter into conditional letter and conditional letter. Condi
tional letter, the meaning is very simple, that is, the letter is conditional.
If the appearance is believed, the beauty can be believed.
Why is it that some children are very beautiful, but they don’t believe it, because they don’t realize that they are beautiful. Those children who realize that they are beautiful generally have a very superior feeling in the world.
There is also a kind of conditional letter, which is called material letter.
Money really makes people believe. If you don’t agree with this sentence, it means you don’t have money now.
When someone suddenly makes a lot of money, you will find that he talks a lot, and he realizes that he has money, which will make this look more bottomless.
Besides the appearance letter and the material letter, there is also a conditional letter called the knowledge letter.
Don’t know everything, but I know, don’t know why, I know why, don’t know how, I know how.
So slowly in such an environment, every time I was affirmed by others, I became a believer. I could often give guidance to others and become a so-called KOL (Italian leader). Among
my classmates, there is such a child who knows a lot.
We were just beginners at that time, and the children just knew that fat was not good-looking, and they had to lose weight.
But this child knew the principle of losing weight. She said to our partners at that time, “You don’t eat carbon compounds. These things are the first source of energy.”.
When you lack energy, you will use these carbon compounds first, so if you eat too much of this thing, it will become fat, which will be stored in your body and make you fat. When
I heard it, I was amazed. At that time,
I only knew how to lose weight, and I didn’t know these principles at all, because at that time, I didn’t have any physical lessons.
The child knew, she said, “As long as you don’t supply too much carbon to the body, the body will consume fat when it needs energy, and in this way, you will lose weight.”.
Then she told us, “You can’t be too hungry, because if you are too hungry, the body will feel that you are short of food. You are experiencing famine, and it will protect fat to slow down the rate of consumption, so that you can survive the famine, so you can’t be hungry.”.
She spoke in an orderly, reasonable, and well-founded way, and all believed in her, and she believed more and more.
But where did these letters come from?
They are all reading in books, so books will make letters.
Finally, reading will make you smarter. It sounds
like a cliche, but it’s not at all. Reading can really make you smarter.
When you have read a lot of books and have accumulated a lot of background knowledge, you will find that your understanding can continue to rise. Xiaosong, who has
read a lot of books, reads the same book as one who does not read all the year round. Who understands it faster, more profoundly and more accurately? It
must be Xiaosong, so Xiaosong looks smarter, because the process of reading is actually constantly inputting the information of the book into the brain, and when reading, it also needs to constantly fill the brain. It is impossible for
this book to list all the background knowledge related to theory and knowledge points for you. In that case, the book will not be finished, so it will omit a lot of things.
Then those who have rich background knowledge will make up for it and understand it quickly and correctly.
And it is possible that two of them have read the same book. One of them has read the book very thick. He has filled in a lot of background knowledge through the book and gained a lot of new knowledge. The other one reads very thin.
So reading more will make you read faster and faster, and understand faster and faster.
Reading is a very important way for the brain to lose. The more you lose, the more you read, the faster you think and the smarter you are.
Because your brain processes this information every day, it gets better and better.
Why is it that in the city, those farmers with their backs to the sky don’t look so smart, and sometimes they seem to react slowly, a little bit?
That’s because their life experience is often single, that is, go home to eat, live every day, part of the time is facing the ground, there is no other information input, so the brain will become more and more.
Reading will make you react quickly. If you talk about an economic theory today, you will react quickly. Because your brain has enough information, you will soon be able to transfer relevant knowledge and information to feedback, and you will not seem to ask three questions.
So reading makes you understand faster, react faster, and look smarter.
The above is what we explained to our family: Why do we study?
Added some theories, these are not empty words, platitudes, I really realize the benefits of reading, if you are confused, anxious, humble, reading is right. When
reading, we often encounter a problem.
The first question is that I don’t know what books I should read. There are books recommended to you
every day, such as “30 books must be read for young people, 20 books must be read” and “10 books must be read for improving EQ”. These books will accumulate on the bookshelf, and you don’t know which one to read first, which one to read later, which one to read, and which one not to read?
So, this is the first problem we have, that is, we don’t know which direction to study.
The first problem is that reading is hard to stick to.
You often make a plan to “read 100 books this year”, and when you finally read one, you haven’t finished it yet.
Third, after reading, will often forget.
I have a friend who reads a lot of books and takes notes on them every time he reads them. The next time I recommended this book to him, he found that he had read it and took notes at that time, but he forgot it.
So, this is the third problem we have.
How to solve these problems?
Books can be divided into four categories according to their functions.
The first category is the book of experience.
The most typical example is the theory of love. After reading the theory of love, what specific and useful things can you get?
In fact, I can’t say, but the process of reading is very cool, you can finish reading, because in this process, you can follow the male number one, number one, experience happiness and pain, even when the key plot will cry, this is called experience.
So after reading the whole book, the only thing you get, or the most important thing you get, is experience.
This is the book of experience.
The first kind of book is a book for getting information.
Some books can give you some information, such as fashion magazines will give you some fashion information, and every year I will buy some books of industry reports, that is, some industry information. The most important thing we get
from this kind of book is the information we don’t know.
The third kind of book is the book of acquiring knowledge.
If you read a book on economics today, you know the term “sunk cost.” This term does not exist, and the knowledge point is something you did not know before. It is a summary of the research findings of economists. If you learn it, you will acquire this knowledge point.
Basically, this kind of books, such as economics, law, and science, will give you some knowledge.
The last kind of book is to get the book of thinking style and method.
Such as philosophy books, to help you open up a way of thinking, to give you a way of thinking, these are the books to get the way of thinking.
In fact, it is not too clear, as long as there is a general concept, it is OK.
We want to illustrate a problem in this classification, that is, we must pay attention to the balance of reading. From the first to the fourth, we can find that the difficulty of reading is increasing.
Experiential books are the best to read. I look at them and say that it’s over when it’s cool. Maybe knowledge books and law books are more difficult to read, so we tend to read some experience books and information books. We all like to read them, which leads to the imbalance of our reading structure.
In fact, the third and fourth kinds of books can increase our knowledge. The reading method
we are talking about today is mainly aimed at the third and fourth kinds of books, because the first kind is basically not mentioned.
About the experience of books, do not teach you the way, you can finish reading, the speed is very fast, do not delay.
So we mainly talk about how to read the third and fourth books.
The third kind of book and the fourth kind of book are more difficult to stick to, so we put forward here: in reading up, only read some books, only read those books that can change your life.
If you are a lawyer, then read some books on science and law first. If you have a recent question about “wanting to divorce” and you don’t know what to do, read some books on divorce.
In short, remember the principle of “read only what you have,” either out of interest or out of a question. As we said in the theory of learning
before, only out of these two learning, can we not suffer and persist.
So the family must develop a habit, when you want to learn something, when you want to solve a problem, you should get used to solving it by searching and reading, which can be said to be the basic accomplishment of modern times.
Teachers often ask me some questions, I will feel that my answer may not be better than teacher’s answer.
So ask me, it is better to read, sometimes some common sense questions, ask me to go to Baidu.
In a word, when problems arise and want to learn, it should be a modern accomplishment to solve them through network and reading.
For example, I recently had some problems with the company’s strategy, so what I want to do first is to take the initiative to search for some books related to the company’s strategy, so that I can get some advice that I can’t get in touch with at all.
When I found these books, I was eager to finish reading them. The efficiency of reading was also very good, and the experience was also very good.
Therefore, we must remember that this is also Li Ka-shing’s method of reading, which is called “reading only the right books.”. The biggest mistake
I have ever made in reading is that I think we should start reading from the classics, which is also the idea instilled by teachers and teachers: you should read good books, you should read the foreign Wuthering Heights, you should read the domestic Dream of Red Mansions, they are all good books, you should read these.
But it should be read. To be honest, as a friend at that time, I couldn’t read it at all, and it often hurt my enthusiasm for reading.
I think this book is a classic. Don’t say it’s so good. Why can’t I understand it? Why can’t I understand it?
I would force myself to read it over and over again, and then I couldn’t read it, I couldn’t understand it, and I didn’t like it.
As a result, this classic, in fact, was originally a classic that I could only understand and be interested in after I was more than 20 years old. When I was 18 years old, because of the spoilers, I had a lot less fun reading it.
So I am here to share my experience with my family, that is, in this world, there is no book that cannot be read at all. You can start from reading what you are interested in and what you are interested in. It will be better to start from the first direction.
Next, we will teach you a method of reading, which is called “thematic reading.”.
That is, I choose a theme, such as entrepreneurship, then I read all the good books below on this theme. The advantage of
thematic reading is that because you have done a lot of reading on this topic, you will inevitably mention different points of view, so you will have a deeper understanding of this issue and be more rational. And when
you read, the speed will be accelerated and the efficiency will be improved.
Because when you read this book, you know almost all about this field. When you read the next one, based on the background knowledge brought by the previous one, the reading speed will be very fast. When you read this book again, you will find that it will be faster and faster. This is the advantage of thematic reading. Next,
let’s look at it directly.
Step: First, according to the theme search books, your theme must have a keyword, keyword to search on the petal.
If you search for the keyword “entrepreneurship”, you find that many of the books under the keyword have good ratings, and find the books with relatively good ratings. This is a search method.
When you search for entrepreneurship books, you will find that there are recommended related books under this book.
For example, the recommended data gives two words “strategy”, which is the relevant keywords, and you search for the relevant keywords.
Another way is that this book will be collected in this column. This column may be a theme. You can find related books from this column.
In short, you have to try every means to find good books related to this topic.
The first step is to read the introduction and review of the book and feel whether you want to read it or not and how to read it.
Many people will write a book review on the petals. This book review is actually a note. Most of the time, the note is a framework. You can know what the book is talking about and whether it is good or not by looking at other notes.
Judge the quality of the book, whether to read or not, and how to read.
The third step is to judge which book is to be read and select it by grading and taking notes at the bottom.
Then see if there is an electronic version of the book on the next page, or search for the kindle version on Excellence, or search for the PDF version on Baidu.
I mainly advocate reading e-books here, and try to abandon paper books.
Because paper books, first, are inconvenient to carry, which causes you to procrastinate in reading; second, it is difficult to move; third, the reading speed is too slow.
So in my place, it is basically not recommended to read paper books, unless you have a special hobby, do not read paper books.
Home as far as possible to adapt to the reading of e-books, e-books more efficient, faster. If
you think it is very good after reading it, you can buy a paper book for collection. After
choosing a book to read, the next step is to read it.
I would like to reiterate two principles here.
First, you can read from the chapter you are interested in. When
I read a Dream of Red Mansions at that time, I insisted on reading it from the first chapter. I was not interested in reading it. In fact, I could read it from the middle. Sometimes if you read it from the middle, you could read it better.
So when we are reading, we don’t necessarily have to start from the first chapter and read every word. You can pick out the chapter you are interested in first. If you read this chapter and find that there are many problems that you don’t understand very well, then you will read the previous chapter with questions, and you will be more efficient.
The first principle is that you really don’t have to finish reading the book. Sometimes you finish reading the chapters you are interested in, but you are not particularly interested in the rest. You really don’t need to finish reading every word. Reading a book is like eating a meal. You can absorb the nutrition you want.
We are too easy to regard the book as a very solemn and sacred thing, because we have been taught to love and protect books, so we think that we should read all the words from the recommendation preface to the final conclusion of the author.
In fact, this is not the case, there is no need to finish reading, because there are many books, good books are also many. What are the
correct reading steps?
I suggest that the author, first, read the record and know what logical framework the book outlines. This step is particularly important. After reading the book,
many people do not know what the framework of the book is, they remember some scattered points, and do not know what the logic of the author is.
So the first step is to study the record, and some authors often make the record logical. Step
one, look at the sequence.
A more professional author will say in the preface, “Why did he write this book, and what will be involved in this book?” Don’t read the preface that is not recommended at all.
The third step is to start reading. We used to read chapter by chapter. Even when we made a reading plan, we would write “Read 1 to 2 chapters on May 1st, finish reading every week, and read two chapters every day.” We would make a plan like this, and then read chapter by chapter, two chapters today and two chapters tomorrow.
As a result, after reading, you don’t know the connection between them, and you don’t know what the framework is, so we can’t throw away the framework and record when we read.
We should start from the record and understand what the content of each chapter is within this logical framework. In this way, it will be easier to understand.
My best reading experience is on the kindle. You must download a kindle on the computer. When you read the kindle, you can call out the recording. The right side of the recording is the content of the book. You read it on the spot. You know very well which chapter of the recording you are reading now. What is the relationship with the upper and lower chapters.
In this way, the reading experience will be better, more efficient and deeper understanding. When you
read it, you must read it in the state of output, that is, if you were asked not to talk about this book, what would you say?
So when you read, you must read with this attitude. This is a recent experience of my friend and me. We both like reading very much. We mentioned this when we exchanged experiences recently.
Because I am going to do a reading festival, so I want to share this book with others. I find that it is more efficient and effective when I read it.
We must read with this attitude. When we read, we should ask the following three questions.
First question, what is this book about?
First question, what does the book say?
The third question, what do I think and how do I evaluate it? When you finish
reading each chapter, you can also ask this question, and then you can provide an opportunity to share.
For example, after reading this book, you can share what the book mainly talks about in the circle of friends. When you share it, you will find that you have a better understanding of the book and read it more efficiently.
Some would say, “If you read like this, will you be very slow?”?
Actually, it’s not. In my opinion, the slowness of reading is basically caused by the following three reasons.
The first reason, read back.
That is, after he finished reading, he did not know what this paragraph was about, felt puzzled, and did not know what the connection with other chapters was, so he had to read this chapter again, and only after reading it did he know what it meant. When we
are reading, we can also avoid reading back by recording the starting method, which will speed up the reading.
First, some people like to read while copying, copying sentences and taking notes, which leads to the slow speed of reading.
Third, reading will be forgotten, which is also a disguised form of slow reading.
That is to say, if you read it, you will forget it, so you have to read it for the first time, so it is inefficient and slow.
Next, let’s share a note-taking method with our family to improve the speed of note-taking. How should
we make reading notes? I’m here to introduce an artifact called Evernote. Evernote is a perfect match for reading books. After
you download Evernote, your Evernote will appear in the upper right, a “like” sign, you click it to have a screenshot function, so when you read, open your e-book on the computer, the left side is the record, the right side is the content of the book, read a particularly good paragraph, want to pick it off, very simple. Just click on the Evernote icon on your upper right, click on the screenshot, and take a screenshot of what you want to pick.
If you want to explain this picture, or if you want to record the frame of the book when you read it, you can click on the “image” in the upper right, and it will appear a box. This box can be entered. Now you are reading chapter and section, and you can put a screenshot.
After you have written down all the things you need to record in this book, you can press the key to transfer it to Evernote, and then sort it out. At this time, you basically have no problem in understanding this book, and there is no problem in memory. It is
also possible that you can’t remember what the specific content of the book is, or that you can’t remember a certain knowledge point later. There is no problem
at all. Impression Notebook will help you search. Its search function is always strong. As long as you remember what the book is about, you will think of it later. You will not find the book on the bookshelf as before, and then look at the record to see which chapter has drawn the key points, or turn over the notebook. When to copy which sentence, this is very inefficient, but Evernote allows you to search, so you only need to remember a summary, need to forget the specific knowledge points, search can be.
This is the method I introduced to my family, which is called Evernote. The power distribution book is a perfect match for reading.
At the end of today’s lesson, we will introduce two more methods: the first is called “finger reading” and the second is called “reading only”.
First point to read, if you are reading when it is easy to divide, it is easy to read, you point to it to read, when you point, you can focus your attention, in addition, you can point to guide your reading speed, if you want to read faster, point to subconsciously move faster, you can.
The first read only is read only. When a
family is making a reading plan, don’t be greedy, because reading is a matter of moving forward step by step. To tell the truth, many times it’s not as pleasant as watching TV, and it’s better to watch and talk. So when a family makes a plan, don’t make it too complicated, make it too much, and remember the idea of “only reading time.”.
This concept works in conjunction with the Easy Snail Reading APP, which has the advantage of giving you only one hour of free reading time per day.
Within this time, you need to pay for it after you finish reading. You can finish reading this free time. There is a kind of state of taking advantage, and the time is not easy to stick to.
Easy reading APP is especially suitable for reading in fragmentary time, such as reading for five minutes on the way to work, it will help you record that you read for five minutes, you turn off the machine to go to work, read for another five minutes after work, it will continue to help you time, after accumulating an hour, you can get a reward. As long as
you make sure that you get this book every day, you are already very powerful. When you read every day, you are already very powerful. After years of hard reading, you will read a lot of books. So the concept I put forward, “only reading time,” can prevent us from procrastinating in reading. This is the end of
today’s lesson. Finally, I would like to make a suggestion, that is, to do two or three thematic readings in the free time of the May and Dragon Boat Festival holidays at home. You will find that you have a deep understanding of two or three fields in this year, and the accumulation of knowledge is already great. Do it for three or five years. You know a lot about this field.
So I suggest that when you only read in your spare time, you should do in-depth thematic reading in a relatively short period of time. When you read thematic reading in a field, you will see some information related to the topic in the future, such as news or opinions, and your reaction will be quick and your understanding will be profound. It’s easy to get those new letters. Focus on not getting lost ~
