 5 tips to read books to get the most out of it

Reading books is an important part of increasing our intellectual capacity. People who read a lot of books will become smart, intelligent and have the opportunity to do important work for society. However, not only by reading the book, we will immediately gain full knowledge, such as the incorporation of elements in the Hong Kong story, and not everything written in the book is true, accurate and useful. No. So to get the most out of your book, follow these five tips.

1. Read books with concentration

To read a book or read quickly, we need to find a quiet place to read. After a good quiet place, we need to have some reading aids such as highlighter, pens, pencils, rulers and notebooks. Before reading, we should close our eyes, meditate for about ten to fifteen minutes to make the mood. When reading, we need to focus only on our books. Other things we do not worry about. Everything else, whether human or material, must be kept away from us so that they do not interfere with our reading. Obviously, when reading, we should turn off the phone or turn off the phone, and our friends, if necessary, we should tell them in advance that now is the time for us to read the book, asking them not to bother us at all.

2. Read a book with imagination

When reading a book, we need to grasp the meaning from line to line, from sentence to sentence, from paragraph to paragraph. Only by grasping the smallest detail in the book can we grasp the whole meaning of the book. On the other hand, when reading, we need to use the imagination of the pictures or actions that the sentences in the book describe. This imagination makes our brain work actively, the fact that the brain works like this, it is a good advantage. Where we cannot imagine, it means that we do not know or do not understand. So use a highlighter or pen to mark and we can take it to ask the book owner or anyone who can explain us this point.

3. Read a book with thought

When reading a book, our soul must be in the body, not the mouth, but the soul flies away. We should not read in a hurry, but must read to understand and understand clearly. To understand the meaning in a book, we must think while reading. The reader's thinking may differ from the author's writing intent. So think deeply and think long and hard. If a book does not make the reader think, then the book is not very useful. Useful books are books that readers can read, understand and put into practice. An important key to helping our brain think well is to ask the question, "Why ...?" Why did the author mention this? Is that really correct? Less is not like that, you know? ... We keep asking and thinking like this over and over again. When asked, our brain begins to think of answers because no one can help us. The fact that there is no one to help answer this is what makes us try to think until we find the answer. That is called divisiveness. If we immediately wonder if there is someone to help answer immediately, then how does our brain work? And if the brain does not work, how can it be smart?

4. Read books just as data

When reading a book, we should not immediately believe that what is said in the book is true and correct. We just read and memorize. The next time we read a new book, another author may be different from the author of the book we read before, especially the history book. In the same event, this book can say this, and that book can say that. Therefore, it requires us to read many books so that we can have enough data to verify what is right and what is wrong. Believe me, as long as we read a lot of books, we will be able to think and balance things better than others who do not read much or do not read books.

5. Read the book and put it into practice

After reading and understanding the theory in the book, we should apply that theory. Sometimes what is written in a book seems very good, but when we put it into practice, the results are quite the opposite. For example, it is written, "Learn from learning, come from finding." But obviously, some people learn, some do not know, and some find, but why not. Writing an article is not as complicated as it sounds. Some things are right for them, but they are wrong for us. Therefore, only practical experiments can make us know whether the book we are reading is really written correctly or just written from memory.
