The next level is "love reading". No matter what you read, you just read, instead of playing cards and drinking whenever you have time.
A higher level is to read some in-depth books, regardless of arts and sciences, depth of thought, or degree of specialization. Of course, it is best to have a goal and apply what you have learned.
Skills can be understood as practical ability and technology, such as foreign languages, law, computers, etc. , too much. This skill can help you make a living, and then promote your career development.
Ability can also be understood as basic ability and quality. Through reading, I can enrich my mind, see problems more comprehensively, live more emotionally, suffer more setbacks, and so on. This is also a skill. Although it can't be used to make a living, it can be used for a lifetime. Accumulating such qualities will play a role inadvertently.
When reading, don't be eager for quick success and instant benefit. Reading also has a "digestion" process. After reading a book, sometimes it will take several years or even ten years before you find that it has a great influence on yourself!
When choosing a book, you don't have to find a book with strong direction. The title is How to Become a Talent or How to Be Successful. Remember: if you want to do a small thing and learn to cook, just buy a menu and go straight ahead. But to do great things, such as success, success and leadership, can't be solved by a few pages and secrets. Reading books like How to Become a Talent is worse than reading a good novel and biography. The protagonist's struggle can inspire us.
