Hello, I am Amao.
I share a helpful quote in my reading group every morning.
I think quotations are the best way to change ordinary people, especially if you accept some positive and concise life advice for a long time, it will have a subtle impact.
The quotes you often read are like the values ??that people around you are constantly instilling in you. As long as they are repeated enough, you will unknowingly think that this is correct.
In fact, this is the same definition as "brainwashing". One of the ways of brainwashing is to repeatedly indoctrinate you into things that are unscientific and inconsistent with the truth.
It’s just that quotations have a similar effect to brainwashing, but the things they instill in you are scientific and beneficial things.
And, it’s kind of like the way our parents told us when we were kids.
For example:
If there is a pair of parents who tell their children from an early age that studying is to get good grades. , find a good job.
When he grows up, this child will subconsciously believe in this sentence, and reading is to find a good job does not necessarily conform to the truth. We read not only To work, so it's kind of like brainwashing, and once you get a job, you're not going to study again.
The real function of reading is to let us distinguish right from wrong and become a better version of ourselves. Therefore, changing our values ????allows us to become a lifelong learner. Even if we work, we still You need to continue to make progress through reading and learning.
So, starting now, you will instill a new value and a quotation into yourself: The real role of reading is to let us distinguish right from wrong and become a better version of ourselves.
Of course, the most scientific method is not to make you think this is correct through repeated indoctrination.
The best way is to find out the reasons behind it, look at other people's research and analysis, then use logic to think about whether this is reasonable, and then draw your own conclusion.
However, many people don’t have time to study the reasons behind it, so let’s simply believe in some good quotes first, and read quotes from some great people every day, quotes from people you admire, It’s much better than the information most ordinary people around you feed you.
Next, I will share some quotations that have been updated daily in the reading group recently, hoping to give you some concise advice on life.
