Today is the first day for intensive reading to accompany you to grow up for life.2947sky

There is a topic of concern to more than 2.6 million people in Zhihu:How terrible can literacy be?

Answer @artemis ma told a story, which won 34,000 praises:

After retirement, an old professor and his wife signed up for a sunset tour group to travel, but they were dragged into a shopping store dedicated to the elderly by the tour guide, and there was a tendency not to buy or give it out.

The old professor had to wander around until he came to a camera counter.

At first glance, the little sister at the counter was another gullible old man, so she was ready to start fooling.

That would be around 2000, before the popularity of digital cameras, and it was still fresh for many young people, let alone for the elderly.

Little sister at the counter: "You haven’t seen a digital camera, have you?"

Professor: "Yes."

Little sister at the counter: "My photos are clearer than those you have seen ~"

Professor: "Is this cmos or ccd?"

Little sister said with a puzzled expression, "I don’t understand what C is. It’s right to shoot it more clearly than those. Don’t compare it blindly if you don’t buy it."

The old professor laughed and left.

In fact, the old professor didn’t mean to make things difficult. He just heard that the photo effect was very clear and wanted to know the details. I didn’t expect the unprofessional counter girl to ask questions.

For this little sister at the counter, a literate person is terrible.

However, a truly literate person is more than just knowing more knowledge.

Their vision, pattern and way of thinking all determine that they are destined to live a different life from others.

Some time ago, I saw a news that a small county in Hefei had cracked a health care product fraud case, and more than 10 thousand elderly people were deceived.

None of the more than 10,000 elderly people reported the case. Even when the police come to collect evidence, the old man is unwilling to admit that he has been cheated …

Why are some old people cheated without knowing it? In fact, it is a question of thinking mode.

They always feel that their children are busy with work, even people are not at home, and they are neglected to take care of themselves. It is not as good as these sales representatives who sell health care products, not only eager to chat, but also can be on call.

In their view, these kind sales representatives are the people who really care about themselves. They sell things to themselves and really want to be healthy.

But in fact, people with a little cost thinking can see through the scam at a glance.

02

How do educated people see through fraud through cost thinking?

First of all, they know that those sales representatives have to support their families themselves, and it is costly to spend so much time chatting with, helping and even taking care of the elderly every month.

Just look at how much it costs to find a nanny, and you will know how much money each of them must earn from the elderly every month.

Secondly, sales representatives can’t sell a copy by knocking on a door, so the cost of those failed sales promotion should be counted on these old people. They are kind to the elderly, in fact, they are staring at the little money in the old man’s pocket.

Finally, talk about the difference between taking medicine and taking health care products.

If you see a doctor in a hospital, not to mention that doctors are somewhat bound by medical ethics, they should seriously treat patients and save lives for their own promotion. Even the current medical troubles make them very careful when they see a doctor.

Because of the high cost of their mistakes, they are more trustworthy.

What’s wrong with eating health care products? Those sales representatives have no place to find them when they run away. In other words, the cost of their mistakes is very low.

With such a thought, we can know why many seemingly unreasonable things have happened.

I once saw someone ask on the Zhihu:At what moment did you suddenly find reading really useful?

The pigeon who asked for food said that once he went to eat, because it was early and he was the only customer, the boss casually asked, "Is Qin Shihuang the worst emperor?"

The answer to the Lord said very seriously: "Qin Shihuang has made outstanding achievements, implementing three public offices and nine ministries and managing state affairs." The enfeoffment system was abolished locally and replaced by the county system. At the same time, the books were written in the same language, and the cars were on the same track. unified measurement. Attacking Xiongnu in the north, conquering Baiyue in the south, building the Great Wall of Wan Li, building Lingqu, and communicating the water system.

It also pushed China into the era of great unification and created a new situation for the establishment of authoritarian centralization of authority. It has a far-reaching impact on China and the history of the world, laying the basic pattern of China’s political system for more than 2,000 years. He was praised by Li Zhi, a thinker of the Ming Dynasty as’ an emperor through the ages’ … "

The boss said "Oh".

After dinner, the boss resolutely refused to accept money and gave away half a catty of beef.

I think this must be only a small part of the benefits that the Lord has gained from reading. The real use of reading is obviously more than this little kindness.

In September this year, Hubei Daily official micro-announced that Jiang Kui, a 2019 doctor majoring in computer science and technology from the School of Computer Science of Wuhan University, was selected into Huawei’s "Genius Teenager" program with an annual salary of 2.01 million.

Jiang Kui, born in 1994, is still a teenager under 27 years old.

At the same time, he not only received an invitation from Huawei, but also the competition between Ali and Tencent.

In the end, he chose Huawei because he preferred Huawei’s corporate culture.

People who are capable get high returns from society and the market.

In recent years, many celebrity training courses have been opened in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, including gender relations, tea tasting, flower arrangement, etiquette, equestrian, wine tasting and so on.

These training courses are under the names of "First Lady" and "Queen of Gas Field", and they enroll students for the society.

Enrollment targets are mainly entrepreneurs or entrepreneurs’ wives.

Most of these wives have no worries about food and clothing and live a leisurely life. In order to look more elegant, they are willing to spend a lot of money. ?

The same training classes, and for children.

The training class abruptly created a "Celebrity Life Guide", claiming that it can make children "from women to goddesses, from ordinary to extraordinary."

Therefore, they teach their children how to dress, how to drink afternoon tea, how to socialize at dances, how to eat western food, etc., just to make these children behave like noble ladies as much as possible.

And the real noble lady, where is such a superficial packaging?

Their own elegance and connotation come from years of accumulation.

For example, Zhang Yuanhe, Zhang Yunhe, Zhang Zhaohe and Zhang Chonghe, the four sisters of the Zhang family in Hefei, studied China’s traditional poems and essays since childhood, and their father invited famous Kunqu teachers to teach them Kunqu opera.

Sometimes when the four sisters are happy, they will have a competition on the same stage. ?

It is said that there was always a euphemistic and beautiful Kunqu opera from the Zhang family at that time, with a lingering sound that was extremely beautiful.

A real celebrity is not amazing in appearance or noble in birth, but elegant and generous in both internal and external cultivation.

Only those with cultural background can be called celebrities, and those with empty skins can only be social flowers.

A literate person, even if he is ugly and humble, naturally exudes unique charm.

The culture I understand is not only a vast amount of knowledge, but a spiritual temperament composed of experience, vision, common sense and way of thinking.

Of course, in this process, the amount of knowledge is the foundation. At least you have to read some books and try to understand the knowledge in several fields.

As the saying goes:

When we were children, we ate a lot of food, but now we can’t remember what we ate.

But what is certain is that some of them have grown into our bones and flesh.

By the same token, a book that a person has read carefully has already melted into his soul and precipitated into wisdom and emotion. As long as it is touched, it will burst out.

2 pieces of advice to make you a literate person:

① Read more classics..

Classics are books that are still worth reading at present and in the future after being screened and eliminated by time.

Classic works generally have two characteristics:

First, it can stand the test of the strictest filter of time, which is the essence and core index..

A man knows his companion in a long journey and a little inn. Anything that has been experienced for a long time and its value has not been consumed has the conditions to become a classic.

Second, it has high originality, uniqueness, foundation and cognitive depth..

Therefore, even if the time and space change dramatically, we can revisit it again and again anyway, and each reading can inspire us. The text itself, explaining the point of view, the two interact endlessly, just like life is endless.

People have limited time in their lives and can’t read many books. The average person’s reading volume is in the order of thousands.

We can read for leisure, but we have to arrange enough time to read for improving our cognitive ability.

The reason is that with high-quality input, it is possible to have high-quality output and accelerate growth.

Therefore, classics must be included in your reading list.

② Be a lifelong learner..

I don’t know if you have this feeling. After a long period of training in society, you gradually realize the truth: the more you read when you are young, the more people you have experienced, and the wider your horizons and the bigger your pattern when you grow up.

He can think deeper about the same topic than you, and he can quickly find the key to the same problem. Wang Guowei called this realm of wisdom the third realm of university questioners.

To achieve such a state, we must devote ourselves to becoming a lifelong learner.

Learn a little every day and make a little progress every day. With the accumulation of time, you can gradually see your own changes and open the gap with others.

Football preview: leicester city is in a hot state, Atletico Madrid is in good shape, and Paris VS Montpellier.

Leicester city VS Leeds United

Leicester City defeated the Rangers away from home, and the league won 9 consecutive victories. The team’s recent performance is still hot, and it currently ranks first in the league with 39 points. Leicester city’s offensive end is active, and the stability of defense line is extremely strong. Leeds United beat Hadders at home in the last league. Although the team has experienced some ups and downs recently, it still wins more and loses less overall. At present, it ranks third in the league with 25 points. Leeds United’s offensive output is equally strong, but the defense strength is really insufficient in the near future.

Leicester city’s recent performance is still strong, and the team is currently at the top of the league. At the same time, the team’s home performance is also very strong. Leeds United is still winning more and losing less in the near future, but its overall stability is still insufficient compared with its opponents, especially the team’s recent defensive line is unstable. This time, leicester city is sitting at a strong home, and I believe there is still a chance to win the opponent’s winning streak.

Las palmas VS Atletico Madrid

Las palmas defeated Alme, the underdog in the last league, and the team has won many victories in the underdog recently. At present, it is chasing the 10th place in the league with 14 points.

Atletico Madrid defeated Alaves at home in the last league, and the league won six consecutive victories. The overall state and stability continued to rise, and it is currently ranked third in the league with 25 points. Atletico Madrid’s offensive output has been continuously improved, and its defensive performance is acceptable, but the situation of zero sealing has been reduced.

Las palmas’s recent achievements have indeed warmed up, but the opponents are mostly weak teams in the league, and the gold content is really not high. The team’s performance at both ends of attack and defense is still obviously insufficient in the face of strong teams. Atletico Madrid’s recent performance is still strong, and the front line output is still very stable, but the defensive strength needs to be improved. This time, Atletico Madrid is a guest to challenge the opponent. I believe it is still a cinch to take away three points.

Paris saint-germain VS Montpellier

Paris Saint-Germain beat brest away from home in the last league, and the league won three consecutive victories and five unbeaten rounds. The team’s recent performance has been getting stronger and stronger, and the difference between the team and Nice at the top has narrowed to one point.

Although the team lost away from home before, its overall performance is still strong in the near future. At present, the team ranks sixth in the league with 15 points. Montpellier’s offensive output is still significantly strengthened, but the defensive end is also not stable enough.

The overall strength of Paris Saint-Germain is very secure, and the team’s recent achievements and performance are also worthy of recognition. In addition, the team has also found the home court advantage. The overall performance of Montpellier has also improved recently, winning several victories, but it is still difficult to compete with Paris in terms of strength. Montpellier’s visit to challenge Paris this time, I believe it is still a situation of losing less and winning.

Porto VS Lille, esto

Porto defeated Visala away from home in the last league, and won two consecutive victories in the league. Although the team suffered defeat in the face of traditional powerful teams, it still had no pressure in the face of other opponents. At present, the team ranks third in the league with 22 points. Porto’s offensive output is very secure, and the stability of the defense line has also improved. Lille, esto, lost to Polti in the last league, and the league suffered another three-game losing streak and seven rounds. At present, it only ranks at the bottom with four points. Esto Lille’s offensive performance is also relatively active, but the defense loopholes are also huge.

Porto’s overall strength is very secure, and the team is still able to face other opponents in the league, and the performance at home is also very safe. Rival esto Lille’s recent performance is still sluggish, although the offensive output is still guaranteed, but the defense loopholes are too large. This time, Porto sat at home to meet the challenge of the vice squad leader. I believe the team still has the ability to beat the opponent and win three points.

Bologna VS lazio

Bologna drew with Sassuolo in the last league. Although the team’s winning ability is not strong, it can still guarantee the unbeaten game in nine rounds, and the overall stability is acceptable. At present, the team ranks eighth in the league with 15 points. Bologna’s offensive output has strengthened, but the stability of the defense line has declined. Lazio beat Florence at home in the last league, and the league won three consecutive victories. The team has been in a strong state in the near future, and it can also win battles in a row. At present, it ranks seventh in the league with 16 points. Lazio’s offensive efficiency has improved, and the stability of the defense line has improved.

Bologna’s overall performance is quite stable. It has previously drawn against strong teams such as Juventus, Inter Milan and Naples, and it has a strong ability to score points in the main battle. Lazio, the opponent, has been strengthening in recent days, and it is also in a winning streak. Although the team’s performance in the away game is not good, most of its opponents are league teams, and they also have the ability to score points away from home. This time, the two teams collided, and Bologna, who performed very steadily, still had a chance to defend the unbeaten home, and the possibility of a draw between the two sides was not small.

How big is the gap between those who insist on exercising and those who don’t?

Voltaire said: Life lies in movement.

The ancients did not deceive me. Insisting on exercise can not only bring us a tall and graceful posture and a rosy face, but also bring us magical changes in places we can’t see.

Over time, there will be a big difference between a life of exercise and a life without exercise.

Persist in exercise, and the ending of life can be complete.

Some time ago, a video "The Last Decade of Life" broke out on the Internet, which showed two completely different lifestyles of fitness and non-fitness in the last decade of life:

One is to walk in the park in sneakers every morning, and the other is to sit on a sickbed with an infusion tube in his hand and look at the sky outside through the window;

One is to travel around by bike and play with children and grandchildren, the other is to sit in a wheelchair, be taken care of and eat a bunch of pills;

One is to wear a suit and tie, get together with family and share delicious food, the other is to wear a hospital gown and hang an oxygen mask, and the whole family is guarding the ward.

After watching the video, many people were silent.

At the end of our lives, the level of health determines whether we can leave with dignity. And this health is a reward for insisting on exercise.

A survey report published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, which lasted for 15 years and involved 80,000 people, shows that ordinary people can reduce the risk of death by 28% through physical exercise.

From now on, stick to exercise, whether jogging or hiking, there is always a sport for you.

You will see that you are getting better and your life is getting better.

Fat and bloated no longer, replaced by tight lines; Exhaustion is swept away, and I am radiant and energetic every day.

The benefits of exercise may not be visible in the short term.

However, after one year, five years and ten years, you will live younger and happier than your peers.

You can go further, see more beautiful scenery and enjoy more beautiful time on the road of life.

Insisting on exercise brings five benefits.

1. It helps to sleep. Modern people are under great pressure, and many people suffer from insomnia. In addition, with the growth of age, people’s sleep patterns will change and their sleep will become shallow.

Studies have shown that women who take walks and other aerobic exercises for at least one hour four times a week have a 50% higher sleep quality than those who don’t like sports. Therefore, insisting on exercise can be described as a very effective "sleeping pill".

2. Controlling weight and keeping fit is the only way to keep fit. Exercise, especially aerobic exercise, needs to burn fat to provide energy. During exercise, it consumes calories and has the effect of reducing fat.

In addition, some strength-based exercises can exercise people’s muscles well, enhance their metabolic ability, increase their daily energy consumption, avoid the accumulation of calories to form fat, and make their muscles have a sense of lines, making people fit and sunny.

3, delay aging, prolong life With the growth of age, all functions of the human body will decline, while insisting on exercise will increase muscle mass, making people still have a good body when they are old, and exercise can slow down the decline of various system functions of the body and prolong life.

According to foreign reports, after people reach middle age, insisting on aerobic exercise can delay physiological aging for 12 years.

4. Exercise improves brain function and intelligence. People often use "developed limbs and simple mind" to describe people who exercise and keep fit, but in fact, people who love sports are not simple at all.

Exercise can not only strengthen people’s physique, but also promote brain development, improve and improve brain function, and contribute to intellectual development. During exercise, people can enhance their memory by remembering the movements and essentials of exercise.

5. Reducing the risk of cancer Lack of exercise is an important cause of obesity. More and more epidemiological evidence indicates that obesity will increase the morbidity and mortality of some cancers, such as endometrial cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer.

Therefore, persistent exercise and weight control can reduce the risk of cancer.
