Chapter 50 Chapter 3 Lonely Lovebirds (2)

Xiaoye was very frustrated, she lowered her head, and Jill looked at her. "I'm sorry." Xiaoye said quietly. "Sorry to whom?" Jill asked. "Brother Ke." "He's gone." "I know, I was mad at you." "He is so angry that he will be back in two days." "After two days, it will be more than half a year." Xiaoye said.For Jill, it was incoherent. "Jill, tell me, how can I become as smart as you? I read every day, but it seems to be in vain." "What books do you read?" "It's those books that talk about great truth."

"Okay, what's the name of the book you read last night?" "On Man." "Ernst Cassirer's Essay on Man?" "I guess so." "Are you serious about reading? Do you understand everything you read?" "probably." "Then simply tell me what "On Man" is about." "...It's just...it's hard to say." Xiaoye frowned. "How many times do you read a book?" Jill put down the newspaper in her hand. "One time. Read it from beginning to end." "not enough." "Not enough to read from cover to cover?"

"Not enough. It's not love novels. Xiaoye, listen to me. Books are divided into two types. One is for entertainment or information. As long as you read what you want, such as the ending, you can read it." You can also throw away the books when you are finished; the other kind of books are used to exercise your wisdom and provide you with concepts. Such books cannot be read as novels, but as a teacher in a dialogue with you, and you must read them as you go. Asking rhetorically, thinking about whether you can understand it, and whether you can accept it after understanding it. You have to read this kind of book at least three times.”

"Do you have to read a book three times? That is like reading a textbook during an exam, reading and reading until you memorize it?" "It doesn't have to be memorized, I think most of the recitations are stupid. You listen to me carefully, and you should read a serious book like this: read it in one breath for the first time, the sooner the better, let you get a general idea of ​​the author What you want to express as a whole is the hard part. "The second time you read, you have to read with an equal attitude to the author. You don't just accept what the author says, but think and criticize them one by one. Do you understand the criticism? It means that no matter what he says, you must Think about it: Is this the case? Is there no loophole? Is there another way of thinking? Even if it is what the founding father said, you have to treat it like this. After the criticism, you will have an answer. If you agree with the author, then you don’t have to recite it And don’t forget; if you disagree with the author, you have to sort out your own thinking and conclusions, so that the book is not a waste of time. After reading a chapter, you should stop and review the key points of this chapter. Then use your own language to briefly summarize what you read. If you can’t find the main point, you may not have read it seriously, or the author messed up and didn’t write anything at all. That’s it, write it down carefully. Read the book a second time.

"It is best to leave a period of time between the third reading and the second reading. During this time, you should often recall this book, and often verify the things in the book with the world you see, so that Before you read the book for the third time, this book has become your friend. When you open the book for the third time, the object of your dialogue is yourself. While reading, you should understand what concepts these thoughts have given you, and what other concepts you have. Can it play a deductive role? If you were asked to write these things on this topic, how would you write it? The third time should be very pleasant, because you not only read it, you also master it and conquer it. After reading the third time After reading it over and over again, you can proudly say that I have read it! I know what concepts this book provides, and what are my views on these concepts. In this way, the book is considered finished, and the book has been completed. It belongs to you, even if you burn the book, it doesn't matter, because you have absorbed the essence into your brain."

After Jill finished speaking, Xiaoye found that Marty was also sitting beside her. "Xiaoye, do you understand that?" Jill asked. "Understood." Xiaoye said, "...But I have to read a book three times, and I can never finish reading those books." "It's not about how much you read, but whether you can read through it or not. Xiaoye, you have plenty of time, don't be impatient, read slowly and carefully, then you will become smarter." Jill said. "Really?" Xiaoye's expression was very serious. "Of course it's true. When I was twenty-two years old, I was stupider than you." Jill reached out to pat Xiaoye's head, and Xiaoye smiled.

Xiaoye went to the bar to get busy, leaving Marty and Jill behind.Jill lit a cigarette for Marty and another for herself. "Yeah hasn't been feeling well lately, has she?" Jill asked Marty. "Yes. The mood is not stable. Fortunately, you taught her like this." "It's nothing, it's just a friend's duty." "To be honest, I think you love Xiaoye, but I don't see you have such patience with others." "Xiaoye is very cute," Jier said, exhaling smoke slowly, "and very pitiful." Marty didn't answer.Jill's intentions are all in silence.

Xiaoye is another domesticated and lonely love bird in the sad coffee shop, willing to stay in the cage forever, and has long since given up flying.That cage is Hai'an.
