Everyone must explore their own way of reading, discovering and developing their strengths through books. Reading ultimately relies on oneself, requiring hard work, exploration, and creativity. Everyone has only one life. In 21st-century China, you can experience life across eras—from the ancient to the future—through extensive reading. If you ask about reading methods, I would suggest a method that is old, clumsy, and troublesome, yet absolutely necessary: transcribing or taking notes. This work is tedious and difficult, but true scholars cannot avoid this path. In the old school, reading required both learning new things and reviewing the old. In the learning process, it is effective to set aside time for revision. After intensive reading of several articles, rather than moving on to new ones, revisit what you have read to reflect on your understanding and seek deeper insights; the benefit is no less than studying new material. I am still eager to learn from those above me. Do not let floating clouds obscure your vision; you stand at the highest peak. ——Wang Anshi Without hard labor, there can be no scientific creation. Jade must be polished to become a treasure; humans must study to gain knowledge. One must master the methods of 'entering' and 'exiting' books. Understanding things deeply is the art of 'entering'; applying them freely is the art of 'exiting.' If one cannot truly 'enter' a book, one will miss the author's intent; if one cannot 'exit' the book, one will be trapped by the words. Only by knowing both can one truly master the art of reading. With determination as your theme, use hard work to write your life, and achieve your future through perseverance; then, dreams are not far away. Books are the nourishment for all humanity.
