Everyone needs some good friends. When we are bored, they can take us to an adventure like Harry Potter; when we are angry, we can vent our anger and finally calm down like an angry bird; when we are confused, they can be good advisors like Mei Changsu; when we are sad, they can muster up our courage like Carnegie.
If friends are perfect, they will never change in our whole life. They will always be there days and nights.
Do you have perfect friends like these? I do. They are books. Reading books just like talking with masters, not only toastmasters, but also different masters with golden words and thoughts. But how to read different books?
I like novels since my childhood. At that time, every boy had a dream going across the rivers and lakes with sharp sword, punishing the bad guys and protecting the good ones. Meanwhile, they could attract some beautiful girls to travel together. That’s why we love Chun Liuxiang in the Gongfu novels. Every girl had a dream finding romantic and perfect love from Qiong Yao novels.
Now, we know they are not true. But it doesn’t matter. Reading novels can satisfy us which we can’t get from real life. So we should not concern about the logic and realities. Just enjoy it. In The Lord of the Ring, there is a strong team with wizard, warriors, elves and dwarfs. Two little hobbits carried the ring, going through the darkness. They fighted with Orcs and destoried the ring by themselves? Is there anything truth in it? No. But it tells that even the smallest man can save the world. So when reading novels, we should read quickly to the end, devote into the story and imagine we are the main character with super power, using your 2 hands to split the jap soldier into 2 parts. Just enjoy the pleasure.
I like history books. History is mystery. We cannot find out the truth most of the time. For example, what are the reasons for dinosaur extinction? There are more than 10 theories. The popular one is that a small planet hit the earth. But that’s not convincing because our ancestors monkeys survived. Other theories talk about climate change, disease or species conflict. A funny one is the aliens biu biu biu killed all dinosaurs on the earth to develop human society because if dinosaurs are still there, human beings will never become the king on the earth. We don’t know the truth, but history is also a mirror. We can learn lessons from what happened in the past and do better today. In A global history, the whole human history is about a lot of wars between farmer civilization and nomadic people invasion. In China, when a dynasty was booming, they would spend more and more money on luxury life and palace, corruptions would become more serious. When farmers suffered from some disasters and could not survive, they would start to fight. The empire would become weaker, and the nomadic people would come south across the great wall. The dynasty would perish. That’s circle of life. What we can learn is why corruption and farmer stable is so important in China today. Therefore the history is all about how to learn lessons for today and tomorrow.
I also like practical books like how to learn English, how to make a ppt, how to manage a team and how to buy a stock. For public speaking, some books talk about dress, gesture, eyesight and voice; some books mention overcoming fear. Fear is nature when we are surrounded by eyesight. We should accept it. Some books refer to making a good story and keep on practicing. So we need to evaluate which approach is effective and the most important to take actions. After considerations, shenzhen toastmaster is your best choice.
The real success of reading books is to change your behavior, to make your
mental and life more mature. Do you want a perfect friend like book? if yes, please write down your book list and start reading from today.
