Some people often ask, after reading so many books, why bother to return to an ordinary city, do an ordinary job, and form an ordinary family?
Someone replied:
Where footsteps can't be measured, words can; Where the eye can't reach, words can.
The meaning of reading is twofold: one is to enable people to live without humility or arrogance; Second, it can make people's hearts clean.
Reading more books is not for the sake of eloquence and refutation, but when encountering problems, you can think more and weigh more, and be less blind and credulous.
Reading is a process that makes you expansive. There are always a few words that can hit you, warm you, and support you to go far, far away.
1
Why focus on the process?
There are many things in the world, and the interest in pursuing them is always stronger than the interest in enjoying them. (Shakespeare)
2
What kind of person is considered a smart person?
Smart people pay more attention to their own growth and always keep an open mind, rather than defending face, not trying to prove "I'm not wrong". (Jobs)
3
What should I pay attention to when interacting with people?
To be an expert among people who don't understand, to speak in a subtle way, is completely stupid. You should lower yourself to the level of the people around you, and sometimes you might as well pretend not to understand; Put away your eloquence and profundity, and in general communication it is enough to retain the coherence of thought. (Montaigne)
4
What are some questions that need to be thought about often?
Ask yourself some pointed questions: What do I have to do to live the life I want to live? Where am I going? How do I get there? Write down your choices and discuss them with someone you trust. Say "no" to the answer "I don't have a choice". (Taylor)
5
Why do many people prefer to suffer rather than change?
It is easier to suffer than to solve problems, and it is easier to suffer misfortune than to enjoy happiness. Because the human brain is lazy, we often can't help but slide towards easier, simpler options. (Hellinger)
6
Why should you try to reach out to more people?
Discovery is always twofold, you must bring your own experience to observe others, and in the trajectory of others, gradually identify yourself. (Jane · Morris)

What was a turning point in life?
Whether the long chain of life is made of gold, iron, thorns, or flowers, if you don't make the first ring on a day that you will never forget, you will not live such a life at all. (Dickens)
8
Why can't you just give up?
It's easier to give up everything than one might think, and the difficulty is to get started. Once you give up something that you thought was fundamental, you will find that you can give up something else, and many other things to give up later. (Calvino)
9
What kind of life can a woman live?
Like our predecessors, we not only have the look of "smiling and smiling, beautiful eyes and looking forward to it", the demeanor of "Ling Bo microstep, Luo socks are dusty", but also the vision of "Chang Yi Xiong's self-esteem, the beauty has giant eyes to know the poor way", and there is the pride of "Shu brocade robes are cut by themselves, and the peach blossoms are immediately invited to grow tassels", only in this way can we finally firmly believe: "Why should it be light blue and light red, it is the first class in flowers." (Monman)
10
What do people who are in love do?
The self in love is an enthusiastic machine, desperately trying to make symbols for its own consumption. (Roland · Barthes)
11
What is the process of writing?
You must attack it as you would a fortified city. There are times when you have to endure defeat, which is the price to pay for attacking a target. Because it's shaky, it's vague, there's no way you can say it clearly. So Borges tells us not to dream of writing the perfect work, because it is usually just a retreat. (Donald)
12
What are the common feelings when you look back?
Many things that I thought would last forever in my heart were also broken, and new things arose to give rise to new joys and sorrows that I did not anticipate at the time; In the same way, old things have become incomprehensible. (Proust)
13
Is there a "perfect moment" to do something?
Instead of taking the time to "find the mood for work", start working and face the work. Most people feel that perfect conditions are needed to get started, but in reality, "starting" is perfect conditions. (Anonymous)

How to live a good life?
The things that taste in the world, including poetry, wine, philosophy, and love, are often useless. Chanting useless poems, getting drunk with useless wine, reading useless books, and feeling useless, he finally became a useless person, but he lived a good life because of it. (Zhou Guoping)
15
What is the answer to life?
People should not be a still life inserted in a vase for people to enjoy, but the rhythm of dancing in the wind on the grassland, life is not an arrangement, but a pursuit, the meaning of life may never have an answer, but also to enjoy this life without answers. (Virginia · Woolf)
