Chapter 8 micronutrients for reading

Since I was young, I have suffered from asthma, especially in winter, I often suffer from it. But recently, after eating two posts of "Shiquan Dabu Decoction", my asthma has improved a lot, even the medicine I have been taking for five or six years has been stopped.I asked the doctor why these most common bark and grass roots seemed to have miraculous effects on me. The doctor actually replied: "80% of the things you need happen to be in it, it's just because you are too partial to eclipse." I immediately protested, "I usually eat very carefully. I don't eat fat, sugar, or even starch, and I rarely go to restaurants. I eat so healthy. How can I lack something?"

Unexpectedly, the doctor laughed again: "Because you usually eat too standard, like a good student who memorizes textbooks thoroughly, but never reads extracurricular books, apart from textbooks, even the simplest and most common things I don’t know. As a result, the roots of the bark and grass happened to contain the ‘trace elements’ that you never touch, but your body needs, and it immediately took care of your body.” I cite the previous two examples to tell you that if you only read textbooks, although you can pass the exam, you will "miss" some things in the long run. It's easy!Think about it, although there are textbooks in school, do you still have textbooks after you enter society?At that time, it depends on whether your usual "intake" is rich and comprehensive enough.

You are busy with homework and violin practice all day long, and you rarely watch TV in the past, but recently I noticed that you always spend a long time glued to the TV after dinner. I remember one day, I asked you if your TV looked so good? You say not necessarily, but because the classmates all watch it, they will talk about it in school. If you don’t watch it, you can’t get into the situation and get along with others; after a long time, you will become a marginal person, so even if you don’t like it, you have to watch it. I also heard from a politician that besides reading newspapers and professional books, he would go to bookstores every once in a while.

Shop around, check out the bestsellers, and also see what other people are reading.He said that it is nothing unusual for a book to sell well, but if it sells well for a long time , or books of the same kind sell well, there must be a social reason for it, and those who are in politics must know it.On the contrary, if you think To say "I will never read that kind of book" not only does not show aloofness, but may also show that it is out of touch with the times. It can be seen from this that reading extracurricular books can help you feel the pulse of the times just like watching TV.

Another advantage of reading extracurricular books is that you can enjoy them in a relaxed mood. I believe you must have such experience—— At the beginning of the semester, new books are sent out, and every page is scented with ink, and there may be beautiful illustrations inside, making those books look like novels and story collections.But as soon as the class officially started, that lovely textbook became terrifying. Why? Because you have a sense of gain and loss, you start to read those books with a realistic and utilitarian perspective. There is no such burden in reading extracurricular books. Since you buy it because you like it, you will read it with joy; no one stipulates when you must finish reading it, so you can pick it up and put it down at any time; Just memorize the exam, and you don't even have to understand everything.But precisely because of this, you have reached the realm of Tao Yuanming's "good reading without seeking deep understanding, and every time you have a comprehension, you will happily forget to eat".A relaxed mood makes you more able to communicate with the ancients.And the things learned in those extracurricular readings are often unknown to others.So one day when you compete with others, when you are evenly matched, you may win by relying on that "little extra".

Therefore, when you have spare energy, you must read extracurricular books.Even if you have too much homework and no extra time, you still have to maintain the momentum and enthusiasm for reading extracurricular books. The momentum and enthusiasm will make you leave school one day, still like to read, and be a real "happy reader".
