The joy of learning, translated by Zhang Bao 2018.12.3

Poor education, loneliness, working all year round and remaining poor, or living in abundance and dying. This is the incorrigible stubbornness of those who are not interested in learning. The instinct to learn is innate and is one of the essential pleasures of human beings. The interest in learning is not limited by poverty, and the affluent should live a life of pleasure.

The interest in learning is not limited to studying textbooks, it can often feel boring. However, books do give us a lot of fun. As you stand in a vast library, gazing at the millions of books around you, an indescribable and awe-inspiring passion arises. These bookcases are not a pile of lifeless waste paper, but a vibrant body of thought and heart on a shelf. Every time we flip through one of these books, it is as if we have stepped into a distant world of time and space, and we hear a voice talking to us, so attentive and honest.

Learning is much more than learning what is in a book, it means accepting all kinds of experiences and experiences with a positive and open mind. Among the many joys of learning, travel should also be included. When traveling, we should be open-minded, pay attention everywhere, and carefully observe and understand the cultural landscape and customs of other places, rather than looking at the scenery in the mirror.

Learning also involves learning to practice, or at least to master an art. Learning an art is equivalent to opening a window for yourself to observe all things in the world, so that you can gain many new ideas and new feelings. Reading books can be enjoyable in two different ways: one that allows you to empathize with new perspectives from unfamiliar authors, and the other is that it broadens and deepens your professional knowledge. Learning is the accumulation of knowledge and the extension of life. Our health and energy will weaken day by day, but the benefits of learning will increase day by day. As long as we have a clear goal, pursue it all our lives, and keep absorbing nutrients, we can achieve the harmony and unity of learning and knowledge.

We are mortal, our bodies will decay, and our emotions will become numb, but most of us will still be young and active in our minds. The world of thought is at my disposal, which can be described as its joy and joy. The learner's mind is always full of the subject of exploration, and the real and wonderful pleasure of learning is experienced, or more precisely, it is a kind of happiness that is nurtured by the heart. And by acquiring and maintaining this happiness in exchange for learning, you will have the longest life, the most fulfilling and rewarding life.

Read a good book Zhang Baotong 2018.12.3

The bookcase is the friend of the lonely, the companion of the outcast, and the joy of the depressed.

Reading a good book is like meeting a good friend, reading a good book is like meeting a good teacher, and reading a good book is like exploring and roaming in a wonderful and gorgeous world.

Reading is a pleasure, a pleasure that is not mixed with any acrobatics, and after other pleasures have faded, the pleasure of reading is enduring. Every time I read a good book for the first time, it's like I've met a best friend, and every time I re-read a good book I read before, it's like a reunion of old friends. Grayson once said, "What a convenient and fun world this world of books!" "To love reading is to turn the loneliness of life into a great pleasure."
