Hello @read.cash Everyone was invited to read my article today.
I have also read many books. Everyone should have the habit of reading books.
I haven’t read a lot of books. However, I have read all of them very carefully. I don't remember anything well. Reading a book is not a matter of memorizing. Our brain is made in such a way that old memories are buried behind new memories in neuron cells. Then over time, they fade away. Trying to remember which author's answer you first wore in Korat and what was that ???
But when we read a book, we get tired of getting acquainted with new experiences. They affect our subconscious mind in various ways. We gain a lot of knowledge without our knowledge. So wear a book not to memorize but to understand to know. Maybe one day you will be able to rediscover yourself
Books are things to enjoy. Things to enjoy in the fall. When you read a story in a book, it comes out in front of your eyes. When you read in the book "The little kid is smiling." Then the smile of a real child will appear in front of the eyes of your heart. When you find a central character in a book, you see yourself inside it. Whatever the character is doing, you are doing the same. Such a feeling will come. The thing that you will never get by watching the video.
Why read books?
For entertainment? To make yourself look fashionable? No, it's not. There are many more easy ways to do this. Not only for information, but also for information. How many people remember what was read after reading it?
Now the question may arise in your mind then why did I start reading this book? Not to make yourself look smart, not to pass the time on the plane, not to listen to what you want to hear - there are many easier ways to do this than to read a book.
I have picked up this book because reading it is a way to learn how to live. Because I want to be more free, have less fear, and achieve peace, which can be made possible by reading books.
Education is to read the wisdom of the great sages and to think about them. It's not just done. It has a purpose.
Some days you may find it better to watch TV or have a snack than to read philosophy or read a book, remember this advice on those days,
Knowledge - especially knowing oneself is freedom.
The purpose of reading books
Purpose is useful in any work. Every work depends on its purpose.
It is also useful to get the purpose right when reading books. Purpose will guide which way you go and which way you don’t. You can't get anywhere without purpose.
Tyrion Lannister is a character in the Game of Thrones series. One of the words that came out of his mouth was why he was reading a book.
According to him, “Just as a sword has to be sharpened with a sharp stone to keep it sharp, so the brain has to be sharpened with a book. That's why I read books. "
Knowing the different things that sharpen the brain, acquiring the ability to think in that proportion. Good books don’t just give information, and don’t answer questions. Gives questions, teaches or inspires thinking. If a book can't do that, then it's a bad book.
In the words of American author Patrick Rothfass, “The questions we don't get answers teach us more. They teach us how to think. If you answer a man, he gets a little bit of fact. But if you ask him a question, he will find the answers for himself. ”
There is another misconception among many about the book, what is mentioned in the book is true. It never is. Naturally a lot of what we know can be wrong and maybe wrong.
In the words of author Robert Jordan, “You will never know everything and a part of what you know will always be wrong. Part of the wisdom is to understand this limitation and part of the courage is to continue in spite of it. "
What is the relationship between reading books and the brain?
The relationship of experience. Things like this You may have heard someone say that a book has changed his life. Why is this? This is because while reading that book, various new connections have been made to his neurons. More and more connections have been made. And these are so numerous that he has seen a new world of thought. His outlook on life has changed.
His brain changes with human experience. Experience can change the brain by creating new neurons or neurons or making new connections. Research has shown that the brain can change even in a day's time.
Identical twins, who have identical genes, also have different brains because they have different experiences. The upbringing of two people, society, social status, education, physical constitution, food, etc. are not the same. These create differences in their behavior, ideology and character.
Usually when it comes to ideology, people think which ideology he has chosen because that is the best. But he does not care about the role of his upbringing, society, education, etc. behind this choice.
Experience builds us. We all become different because of the differences in our experiences.
Reading books is a way to gain this experience and make the brain more thoughtful.
Suppose you and your identical twin brother invest in the stock market.
Your brother is not interested in reading books. He believes in work. He is also making a lot of profit by investing in the market.
And you slowly made a small profit and studied investing. You know how all the big investors in the world are investing by reading their autobiographies and books. New connections are made in your brain. All new doors of thought are ready.
One day you saw fear spreading in the stock market, everyone in the market was scared and selling their stocks. Your brother also joined this procession. Because the wind is scary now. He also got scared and sold his stock in Los Angeles. But with the knowledge gained from the experience of the world's largest investors, you will know in your own brain what to do in such a situation, how to get the highest profit out of it, or how to handle the situation well. As a result, fear will not work in you.
That's the kind of book a person reads, the connections to the brain. In that proportion his ability to understand developed. Only those who read popular fiction, so they can not read other good books.
Do not read books while lying down
Hasan Azizul Haque, the eminent storyteller of Bengali literature, said, “What I have seen is experience, what I have heard with my ears is also experience, what I have read in books is also experience, all in all experience is what we can take in our human life by the five senses. -E. No one can write outside of this if they want to. ”
One thing, many things can move our heart while traveling somewhere. The experience of reading a book, like the experience in this body, can move us to the details of an event, character traits or conversations. But if they are not written down to be remembered at the present time, then anyone can forget it if they do not have a very good memory. Even if you have a very good memory, it cannot be said that you will remember everything. Therefore, it is very important to draw books and keep notes while reading.
Don't read books while lying down, this is the advice given by the master of masters, Japanese director Akira Kurosawa. In his autobiography Something Like an Autobiography, he writes about the importance of keeping notes while reading a book, “I forgot who said it was creating memories. My own experiences and the different things I read remain in my memory and form the basis of my new creation. I can't do it from scratch. For this reason, I always keep a notebook with me whenever I read a book from a young age. I write down my responses and the things that move me. I have a pile of books after such a pile. These are the books I read when I go to write a new script. They help me with new thinking content all the time. I have even taken sources from these books up to the one line dialogue. So what I want to say is, don't read books in bed. "
Even if you think about these benefits, you should read books even if you don't remember. Because there is no harm in it. If you want to remember like this, even if you don't remember, you will remember at work. It's a matter of the brain. The brain reminds us of what is needed.
The habit of reading books is a good quality and I think reading books is a matter of patience. Not everyone can read books with patience. However, You are right! reading books does not mean memorization. We read books to improve our knowledge and to learn new things . Book is our silent friend who has no complaints but always ready to give us a hundred percent pleasure.
