What if I can't read a book?

 　　"What if I can't read a book?" Several people asked me this question.

　　My answer is, if you don't see it, don't watch it. Just like what to do if you can't watch a drama, give up. However, giving up a drama sounds righteous, and giving up a book becomes a kind of spiritual laziness. In the concept of most people, reading is about equal to a kind of "correct". Since childhood, teachers and parents have asked children to read more books. Children who don’t like reading will be regarded as a problem of learning attitude more or less. As an adult, this concept persists. Therefore, once you say you can't read the book, anxiety will arise spontaneously.

　　For learning, my advice is to find a more suitable learning path. If you can't read the book, try to take a class, try to ask a senior for advice, or simply learn by doing. Different people have their own learning strategies. Some people are good at reading through text, some people are good at absorbing information with images, and some people are most efficient at accepting sound. Others need to learn in the context of interacting with others. There is a diagnosis called dyslexia. People with this disease cannot read books even if they live or die, but as long as the content is turned into sound, he can absorb it without any problem.

　　When I first brought students, I recommended some difficult reference books, and some students were really struggling to "gnaw". I only finished one book in one semester, and I feel very accomplished. But when I asked, I found that there was a lot of content in it that I didn't remember at the time. Barely remembered, but also half-understood.

　　It's not the student's problem, it's my problem. I did not control the difficulty of the books well, beyond their ability to accept. The following year, I recommended better books, and the students were much more enjoyable to read.

　　If they had told me earlier, I would have discovered the bibliography problem earlier, and they would not have suffered that semester for nothing. They didn't say it because there was such a voice, vaguely encouraging them to "look hard". It seems that as long as you bite your teeth and read it, it means a greater improvement in morality and knowledge.

　　But the more important quality is to seek truth from facts than "hard to see". If you don't like it, you don't like it, if you don't see it, you don't see it. You should find a more suitable person who can echo with you, instead of fighting with an unsuitable person.

　　The number of books you read, how often you read them, whether you have read a particular book... are all issues that are not worth thinking about. The important thing is to learn. Always remind yourself: there are ten ways to learn, if one way fails, change it as soon as possible.
