In 2019, in order to improve my knowledge, I participated in the activity of reading a book at the same reading school. During the reading process, I found that I read slowly, could not remember, and was very distressed. I have invested a lot of time in reading, but it seems that I still haven’t achieved the results I want. In the midst of confusion, registration for the first issue of "Seven Lectures on Reading" from Tongshu Academy started. The contents in the poster were all the problems I encountered while studying, and the lecture was given by Gao Hongpeng, the founder of Tongshu Academy, whom I trust, so I signed up without hesitation. You cannot register for classes directly. You need to prepare for two weeks and complete homework and reflection questions before classes will start. Yes, we study with questions, students read each other’s homework, and finally the teacher comments and summarizes. This mode is something I have never experienced before. With freshness and curiosity, after two weeks of study, my reading problem has been solved. I have also corrected my misunderstandings about reading, and I know how to read books in order to be good at reading. Effectiveness. The harvest was huge, like a new life. If you have the same troubles as me in studying, come and participate. It will definitely be a worthwhile trip.
When we are born, the educational concept we receive is to study hard. In the context of exam-oriented education, each of us has a different view on reading, has different reading behaviors, and has embarked on a different path in life. We have witnessed the effects of reading on different people.
Without the bridge of reading, you cannot cross the river of ignorance. This is the inevitable choice we face when we come to this world. Saints are outstanding figures in human history, role models who have established moral integrity and meritorious deeds. They are the true scholars, they are wise men and strong men in life. Because reading, thinking, doing things, verifying, and self-cultivation have improved human nature, allowing people to rationally control and restrain their own behavior, and provide cognitive and theoretical support for various choices they face. Books are outstanding figures who have refined and summarized their life experiences and highest wisdom. We can learn from their experiences and verify them on us, saving more energy for our limited lives, allowing us to avoid detours and improve the quality of our existence. , live the way you want. This is a relatively cost-effective behavior.
There is a way to do things, and there is a way to study. I think this is like what I have been thinking about recently about the reason why cooking is delicious. We think that we can cook and we are born with it. Is it true? If you want to make the rice delicious and in line with your family's appetite, do you need to think about the combination? Should we follow the recipes of our predecessors? Innovation is also the result of thinking based on basic theory. No one can build a tall building from the ground. When cooking, you should also check the raw materials at home. If they are not complete, go out to buy them, otherwise the taste and nutritional value of the dishes will be affected. At the same time, when the raw materials are complete, follow the steps of the recipe, practice it yourself, and practice it repeatedly until you are proficient in internalizing it, making delicious dishes, and becoming a delicious chef.
Then, the same is true for reading. You need to be equipped with raw materials that are insufficient, and you need to read according to rules and methods. The reading methods and life experiences of outstanding figures are written in their books and biographies. We must learn, imitate, and put them into practice. Until it becomes part of our body, thoughts, and behavior. Our own conditions determine that we do not have all the elements to be able to read, and we do not even have the correct method of reading.
Do our undergraduate and graduate degrees really prove that we can read? Some people have done it, but most people have not, because we read for the sake of reading and do not understand the purpose of reading. Why study? Yes, solve problems, feed yourself and not starve. Why do we still not know how to do things, blame ourselves, and have tense interpersonal relationships after reading a lot of books? The reason is that we have not understood the books, have not mastered the methods of reading, and have not understood the purpose of reading. Therefore, if you don’t know how to use books and don’t understand them, you certainly won’t be able to use the principles in the books to guide your life. The foundation of your life building will naturally be weak, crumbling, and riddled with holes.
What is the difference between Seven Lectures on Reading and other lectures? My experience is that it awakens my rational thinking and allows me to see my own shortcomings in comparison with others facing the same problem. By doing homework while studying, and under the guidance of Teacher Gao, I saw the goal of progress, which was chosen by myself rather than a goal imposed on you by others. You will find that on the way forward, your equipment is insufficient, your direction is deviated, and your speed is too slow. Why are the others who are doing the same question good but you are not? Why can't you keep up with the large army? Everyone is communicating at the same time. If you can't do your homework, are you willing to do it? This is the charm of the Reading Seven Lectures community. Different people answer a question, and there will be multiple answers. It will let you see all kinds of life, and will make you excited and alert, and once again combine the theories in the book with Reality connection, discovering deviations in our understanding and behavior. If the understanding is wrong, the behavioral results will definitely be wrong. It is difficult to become talented through self-study, and it is impossible to verify right or wrong. Instead of working hard, it is better to follow the right teacher and get the scriptures from his direct descendants. Teacher Gao will help us build the framework, teach us how to understand concepts, how to apply them, and how to achieve consistency in learning and doing. This is also one of the reasons and differences between listening to a lot of training and buying courses without taking action, but with little effect.
