First of all, what is a book flip? My understanding is that reading has no clear purpose. You can read whatever books you have and whatever books you want. When many celebrities talk about their teenagers, they just flip through books. Some of them were because there were few books at that time, so we could only read whatever books we had, even if it was just a dictionary. Others can read whatever they want, because there are all kinds of books at home, such as Warren Buffett, who read all the books in his father's office when he was a child.
The word "turning over a book" discussed in this paper has a second meaning and no clear purpose. Read all kinds of books. Since it is considered that "turning over books for teenagers" makes sense, what is the reason?
There is an important word "juvenile" in "juvenile book turning", which seems to mean that "juvenile book turning" is the privilege of "juvenile". Does it imply that adults should not "turn over the books"?
I think there is a very important factor in emphasizing "teenagers", and that is "time". Because before entering the society, teenagers' main task is to learn and accumulate knowledge. They naturally have a lot of time and will not face too many problems in life and work, which is an important advantage that adults do not have. Time is the means of production of knowledge and an important resource to change oneself.
The influence of time on "turning over books" is as follows: teenagers can turn over books at will, and have leisure and willfulness, because they have a lot of time to read whatever books they want, and their learning scope is interest-oriented; Secondly, teenagers need to look through books. When they are adults, they need to deal with all kinds of life and work problems and use their own knowledge to analyze and solve them. If they can accumulate a lot of knowledge in different fields when they are young, just like in Into the Wild with all kinds of tools and equipment, the possibility of survival is definitely higher than nothing.
Since "turning over books for teenagers" is largely due to time, "juvenile stage" should refer to the period from childhood to finishing school. At this stage, it is hard to have free time after work. Unless you get up early or go to bed late, force yourself to squeeze out some free time to do what you want.
But now I am not young, and my daily time is almost occupied by work and life, and I have little free time. But I love reading and have many interests. This enthusiasm is far more than when I was young. What should I do in the face of this situation? Can you still "flip through the books"? If time doesn't allow, what should I do to achieve the effect of "turning pages"?
Thinking of this question, I can't help but compare the reading methods of the previous two years with this year. In the past two years, I have used the method of "turning pages". When you see a book with an interesting name in a bookstore or Dangdang, or a new book by a favorite author, buy it and read it. I thought I had read a lot of books, but when I moved to tidy up the bookcase this year, I found that the types of books I read in previous years were very single, and they were all very good books on prose and philosophy, such as Lin Qingxuan, Bi Shumin and Liu Yong. This kind of book can be read in one day, which is not a waste of brains at all, but more like enjoyment, and the content of reading is scattered everywhere like gravel.
At the beginning of this year, influenced by a friend, I decided to build my own knowledge system, and through conscious and planned reading, I incorporated all my interests and needs into the knowledge system. This tailor-made knowledge system is rooted in philosophy and grows into different branches, such as sociology, psychology, aesthetics and economics. These branches are thick and thin, which need to be studied emphatically and understood roughly in order to make this big tree flourish as much as possible.
When I made clear my reading goal, my reading style changed a lot. I turned the previous book turning into sub-topic reading. The advantage of reading by topic is that the goal is clearer. If you study philosophy at this stage, you should concentrate on it, not think about it, and learn modern philosophy from Su Qianzhe. In the early stage, we should read the whole article roughly, and then carefully read the works of philosophers selectively.
However, there are some problems at present. I thought it would be over after reading the History of Chinese and Western Philosophy. As a result, I found that philosophy is very brain-consuming to read and needs to be read with different types of philosophy books. So it's been nine months. So now I still have to train my concentration in reading and improve my efficiency through concentration. After all, the free time I can squeeze out every day is very limited.
In addition to thematic reading, there are also pan-thematic reading, which is mainly used to read some practical reference books, such as Deliberate Practice, Diligence, the simplest accounting book in the world, and Mom Superman in the kitchen. This kind of reading is very flexible, which can be interesting or can be solved quickly in work and life. Pan-thematic reading can not only solve the problems encountered in real life, but also assist and supplement thematic reading.
It is worthwhile to think clearly about your own reading methods because of the phrase "turning over books for teenagers".
