Books are more than just a compilation of rectangular pages glued together in strange colors. They are documents in the author's mind, and for some books, they may also be the author's complete understanding of the surrounding environment.
Now, you can take novels into fantasy, take you into the unreal world, and introduce you to characters that never existed in the real world, but because you have almost lived with them, you may never be replaced by you now.
Books can be non-fiction, such as autobiographies and memoirs. They introduce people to us. We will learn more about them. We draw inspiration from their "never give up" spirit and think that "if they can do it, I can do it".
Books can be travel diaries. Through another person's eyes, we can see the beauty of grassland and the grandeur of ancient mountains. We may feel the scorching sun at noon. When the wind plays in the water, we will feel the waves echoing in our hearts. We taste street food and food in related places through sentences written by travelers during their travels. This trip took us to various places, and we felt this.
Books can be classic/tragedy/fantasy/science fiction/adventure/history/humor. There seems to be no area that humans have not touched. There seems to be no topic that has not been thought of and written on paper.
Books themselves are a vast land. They have their own world.
Some people read books to relax themselves. Some people read books because they like reading. You will see some people finish a series of books/novels just because they like the author's talent, or just because they like reading.
Everything will affect us if we allow it. Books will do.
A book that has a great influence on me is the writer's chicken soup for the soul.
I read this book in 10 grade. I like reading this book very much. The stories in this book are written by novelists, professional writers, journalists, freelancers, poets and screenwriters.
Therefore, this book is basically a compilation of short stories about these different characters. Every story has its own background and emotion. Writers have their own struggles and victories.
In every new chapter, you will find writers who are eager to become professional/full-time writers, but for some reason, they can't pursue their passion. Or, the writer finally becomes interested in writing and finds that he can easily perform well in this field.
Writers are teenagers, old people, teachers, grandmothers or working men and women. Basically, you will see that no one of a certain age group aspires to be a writer and has achieved this goal.
You will see that anyone can realize his dream of becoming a writer as long as you have the desire and work hard.
For some people, this profession brings money and enables them to live a better life. For some people, it gives them an opportunity to communicate with the public. Some people feel happy just by writing down their thoughts, while others love their jobs.
Therefore, you will see that this book is not a fantasy about superheroes. There is no action/comedy, and there is no wonderful environment to attract the audience to love action.
But on the other hand, this book tells us the stories of ordinary people. What is the struggle to realize your dream first? Finally, how do they strive to achieve their goals?
I really feel every chapter of this book. These are the original life stories of different people. People from different countries, cultures, ages and classes love writing. This is the beauty of this book.
You will feel the writer's actual struggle. You can understand their wishes. Finally, you are happy for them to realize their dreams. Just as many primitive people are telling their life stories one after another, you have the opportunity to learn from each of them.
You will see that everyone has their own way of struggle. They have their own obstacles. But their willpower and commitment are limitless. Through their efforts and determination, they realized their dreams.
Reading that book is an honor for me, because I like writing very much. I will write poems/short stories at any time. Therefore, these stories naturally resonated with me.
I found that these people surpassed any obstacles they encountered, whether it was age, long working hours or lack of information. They finally shine in the dream sky.
This really motivates me to do what I like firmly. I know, you don't have to have many resources. We can start from where they are. A small step in the right direction. Keep moving.
They follow their passion and become writers. Anyone with different passions can realize their dreams.
