第4章 Feed Your Mind思想

Once you read a book, you just dont run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes it and explains it to you.

Feed Your Mind

Harold Pinter

Since the prehistoric times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger, shelter or search for a mate, he has always manipulated manipulate vt.(熟练地)操作, 使用(机器等), 操纵(人或市价、市场), 利用, 应付, 假造 the circumstances to the best of his advantages.

读书时不仅要用眼睛去看,更重要的是用脑去想。

思想

哈罗德·皮特

自从诞生之日起,人类就有着满足自己需求的强烈欲望。无论是吃饭、避难,还是觅偶,人类总是善于利用环境来达到目的。

Probably this might be the reason why we human are the most developed of all living species on the earth, and probably also in the universe.

As we climbed the steps of evolution evolution n.进展, 发展, 演变, 进化 with giant leaps, we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking—we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of ahead of adv.在……前面 times.

If you are hungry, what do you do? Grab grab v.抢夺, 攫取, 夺取 a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such absurd absurd adj.荒谬的, 可笑的 things.

So it silently began to heed to your needs and never let itself grow. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop.

这或许能说明为什么人类是地球上乃至是宇宙中最高级的现存物种。

但是在进化的巨大成功背后,我们却抛弃了一些常识和逻辑思维——我们忘记了自己已经停止了超前思维。

如果肚子饿了,你会怎么办?美餐一顿,然后静静地呆在那里?像胃一样,大脑也会感到饥饿的,你却从不知道,因为你只想着梦中情人、喜爱的明星和许多类似的杂事。

因此它只是静静地关注着你的需求,却不怎么在意自己的情况。当思绪恣意枉为时,创造力也就停止了。

This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why cant I think?”, “Why am I always given the difficult problems?” Well this is the aftermath aftermath n.结果, 后果 of our own karma karma n.因缘, 因果报应 of using our brain for thinking of notsoworthy things.

Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading. Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood.

Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to take help of reading. You have innumerable innumerable adj.无数的, 数不清的 number of books in this world which will answer all your “How to?” questions.

这或许就是“下一步该如何”、“为什么我想不到?”、“为什么我总是碰到难题?”等问题产生的原因。这也是我们的大脑无聊思考产生的后果。

事实上,广泛的阅读可以解决思维的饥饿。但为什么是阅读而不是看电视呢?从小时候,读书就成为最具教育性的工具。

就像人生道路上的其他困惑一样,我们必须求助于阅读。世界上有很多的书籍可以教你如何做。

Once you read a book, you just dont run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodesdecode vt.解码, 译解 it and explains it to you.

The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowinglyunknowingly adv.不知不觉地 used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity.

More the number of books you read, your mind will open up like never before. Also this improves your orator skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. Within no time you start speaking English or any language fluently with your friends or other people and you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.

读书时不仅要用眼睛去看,更重要的是用脑去想。

书中的有趣部分就像一粒种子,贮存在你的脑海里。将来,他会帮助你引发新的想法。这样多次之后,你就可以把那些即使你做梦都想不到的事联系起来!这不是别的,就是创造力!

读书越多,你的眼界就越开阔。而你的演讲能力、词汇量也会随之大幅度提高。很快你就能使用流利的英语或别的语言与朋友及他人交谈了,而且你也不会再词汇贫乏了。

Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly. I am still on the path of improvement to quenchquench vt.结束, 熄灭,淬火 my thirst for satisfaction.

So guys do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you waiting for? Go, grab a book, and let me know!

事实上,我的英语还不够好,但只要坚持阅读,就一定会取得进步。现在为了“自我提高”,给头脑“解渴”,我依旧在努力。

请和我一起努力吧!通过不断地阅读、阅读、再阅读来“喂饱”你的大脑。你还在犹豫什么?拿起书,现在就开始吧!

阅读可以充实你的思想,可以让你变得明智起来。大脑是会饥饿的,如果我们不经常给大脑充饥,我们的思想就会渐渐枯萎,想来是一件很可怕的事。而大量的阅读,可以让我们的大脑释放出无穷的力量,迸发出闪亮的火花,凝聚成惊人的创造力,一切终系灵动的思想。为头脑“解渴”,为思想“喂食”,在人生的成长路上,我们会创造出一个又一个生命的奇迹。
