Humans have been on this planet for tens of thousands of years. In these tens of thousands of years, human beings have been fighting and busy more to survive. Therefore, since prehistoric times, human beings have been going through a lot of hardships to meet the needs of survival. They need food, a mate, shelter and safe shelter. Through tens of thousands of years of evolution and evolution, humans have finally become the most developed species of all living beings on this planet.

When humans became the masters of the planet, labor and accumulation changed our needs dramatically. When we are hungry, we think about food, when we are cold, we think about clothes, when we want to sleep, we think about having a house, when we are lonely, we think about having a partner. But when all our needs are met, what do we think?

Maybe we think of being able to fly in the sky, to drift in the sea, to travel thousands of miles in a day, to be warm in winter and cool in summer, to think of the lover of our dreams, to think of movie and television stars, to think of spring flowers and autumn moons, to think of meteors, and even to think of many strange and absurd things.

As we climb the evolutionary ladder with a huge leap, we accumulate a lot of experience, lessons, scientific knowledge, and logical thinking. These will help us to study and think deeply. And it is learning and thinking that keeps human evolution in the process of acceleration.

The purpose of learning is not just to learn and memorize, but to use the knowledge accumulated by predecessors to think, and to create more advanced and great wealth and achievements. This is the process by which ideas ferment and evolve. Thought is the knowledge and concept of man. People's social existence determines people's thoughts. It is an important manifestation of a person's way of behaving and emotional approach.

The more people are filled with the impulse of material needs, the more likely it is to create a blank space in their thinking. The desire for material comforts and well-being can numb and dull the needs of the mind. The absence of thought naturally leads to a closed mind of thought. Whether a person is a person in the modern sense or a person in the primitive sense, the difference between them is reflected in the thirst for ideas or the greed for material things. Modern people will pay more attention to the nourishment and enrichment of culture and ideas.

After satisfying the needs of survival, modern people will pay more attention to the needs of their own spirit and heart, and pay attention to the hunger and freedom of the brain. He will use his imagination and creativity to think and explore many unknown questions.

The nourishment and enrichment of the brain and mind requires a lot of reading and unremitting learning, to think and explore many things, and to innovate and create boldly. Reading a lot has always been our most educational way of learning. The reason why we emphasize reading instead of watching TV is because reading helps us learn and think, and what TV can give us is more leisure and relaxation.

With the help of reading, we can stand on the shoulders of our predecessors, see a deeper and broader world, and try to explore and answer many questions that our predecessors could not answer. Books are the seeds of our thoughts, which can take root, sprout, blossom, bear fruit, and even grow towering trees in our minds.

The more books you read, the more sensitive and rich your mind will become, and the more fresh and expansive your mind will be. So, please read a lot and let your mind blossom.
