At the end of the train, there hangs a signboard painted with a "skull." Some are born and already lie in a warm and comfortable soft-sleeper carriage, while you are a traveler holding a "standing ticket." In the noisy and crowded carriage, you still can't find a seat that can accommodate you When will the "standing ticket" in your hand be exchanged for a "seating ticket"? Your heart is filled with confusion and helplessness On this painful journey of life, please build for yourself a "spiritual homeland" filled with the fragrance of books! Let books accompany you throughout your life! On a cold rainy night, when you sleep with a book under your pillow, you will find your mind at peace, nightmares no longer troubling you You will become wise, fearless, and strong About "A Lifetime Reading Plan" How many books can one read in a lifetime? Suppose a person with 99 life cycles (years) starts reading at the age of 6, and reads 2 hours every day (It is calculated that a person with a high school education can read about 20,000 words in one hour with a little thought). According to this calculation, even a prodigy who lives to 99, reading 2 hours a day, will only read 4,526 books in a lifetime (assuming each book has 300,000 words). Moreover, this person must also ensure that even on a beautiful wedding night, they cannot forget their 2-hour "reading homework" waiting for them. As of the end of 1998, the collection of the National Library of China was 21.6 million books, and it was still growing at a rapid rate of 600 to 700,000 books per year. With such a vast collection, its ranking among world national libraries is only fifth. The number 4,526, when compared to the number 216,000,000, seems too thin. How can you "fish out" those books that you cannot afford to miss in the vast sea of books? How can you read more books, more useful books, in the fleeting years of life? Under the guidance of first-class experts and scholars in the country, formulating an "A Lifetime Reading Plan" should be the preferred solution! About the five functions of "A Lifetime Reading Plan" Function 1: It enables you to establish a "mini library" exclusively for you with minimal investment, always ready by your pillow and beside your desk. Function 2: It gives you a "battle map" to conquer the "mountain of books," accurately marked with "reading shortcuts" listed by first-class experts in the country. Function 3: With the joint effort of first-class experts in the country, it builds a "platform" for you to dialogue with the "great wisemen" of humanity, allowing you to sit face-to-face and talk heart-to-heart. They might even surprise you with a "" (Sesame Open") spell, lighting the magical "Aladdin's lamp" for you. Function 4: With the least amount of time and energy, you can quickly grasp knowledge from many fields outside your expertise, greatly enhancing your "conversation capital" and effectively improving your "reputation." Function 5: When you finish reading this series of books, you and your family and friends will suddenly discover that you have gained a refreshing "scholarly aura" About "conversation capital," "reputation," and "scholarly aura" Many world-renowned figures regard interpersonal communication as the most important subject in life. In interpersonal communication, good and smooth communication is the key to gaining the "right of speech." "Conversation capital" (also known as "conversation capital") is an indispensable "energy" for communication between people. "Conversation capital" has become a unique secret weapon for seizing the "right of speech" in interpersonal communication. On the stage of life, a person who lacks the "right of speech" will always be forgotten by the crowd in the "corner" and will not earn their respect (reputation). Only by greatly enhancing one's cultural taste and cultivation through reading classic books can one best cultivate the "art" of "conversation capital."
