The influence of reading on people is probably like enthusiasm and interest. People who have heard more and seen less are willing to believe in existence and never want to believe that they have met.

I used to, too, until I realized a little clue.

Now there is a word that is very popular and artificial. Zhang Xiaolong said a word, I can't remember the exact words, which is probably what he meant. A circle of friends is a stage. Everyone is an actor and shows what he wants others to see most.

Some people show love, some people bask in happiness, some people bask in Starbucks for study, some people bask in travel, and some people bask in babies for the same reason, and they want others to see themselves like this.

For this reason, I don't quite believe those things that I send to various circles of friends every day to say how much I love reading and how much reading affects me. And so on.

I used to dismiss this story. It has a strong flavor of chicken soup. Although chicken soup is harmless, you can't eat too much.

My experience is far less fortunate than that of this author. I have always felt hopeless and powerless, or I should feel desperate.

After graduating from college for two years, it is reasonable to say that a young age is full of passion, even if it is empty and full of enthusiasm, it should be full of vitality.

It's hard to tell whether fate makes people, or whether it's natural disasters or man-made disasters. Since I graduated two years ago, I have only worked for more than two months, and I have been at home for illness at other times. My illness is not urgent, nor will it be fatal at any time, but it is torture all the time. Feet hurt, it hurts when you walk, but it doesn't hurt when you don't walk. It has been cured for a long time and has obvious effects.

by rights, I should be desperate. What a miserable man like me!

I'm not a book lover, or just a hypocritical love. I would rather put it on the shelf than turn it over; Buying books is like a mountain, and reading is like reeling; Since I can't do any work, I'm tired of playing games, listening to songs and watching TV blind, so I have to start reading.

reading has become a utilitarian thing for me, so I should find something to do for myself. One by one.

I gradually found that I was not even more desperate. On the contrary, I am more proud, and I always feel different in my heart, and I have the feeling of being chosen by God.

I'm beginning to wonder, isn't it self-cultivation? How can there be a feeling that life is like a dream and all beings are mediocre? How arrogant is it? You should be possessed!

Later, I read a big V WeChat, and I have always liked it. I have been paying attention to it for almost two years. In the field of investment segmentation, it can be said that it is a clean stream, a master of Buffett, Charlie Munger and Graham.

There are a lot of fans, and he has written three books, all of which are dry goods. He has always been the direction of hard work in my heart, with freelancing, financial freedom, knowledgeable and meticulous logic.

A few days ago, I saw a reader's question: "You have received so much recognition. Do many fans sometimes feel that they are amazing and a little floating?" Big v's answer: "there will be, whenever this time, I will read, and I will understand that my achievements in this world are nothing."

I understand a little now. Reading is a regulator, which allows me to see a wider sky and more angles, so as to adjust myself not to go to extremes, and make the originally pessimistic less pessimistic and overly optimistic less complacent.

try to present a relatively objective world, with a philosophical mentality of "not rejoicing in things, not being sad for yourself".
