Chapter Four Feed Your Mind

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 number of books in this world which will answer all your “How to?” questions. Once you read a book, you just don't run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly 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.

事實上，思維的饑荒可以通過廣泛的閱讀為滿足。為什么是閱讀而不是選擇看電視呢？因為自孩提時代起，讀書就已經(jīng)是最具教育性的工具了。正如人生發(fā)展的其他方面一樣，我們不得不求助于閱讀。世界上有無數(shù)書籍可以回答你“如何做”的問題。讀書時不僅要用眼睛瀏覽文字，還要用腦去解讀、詮釋。書中有趣的部分就會像種子一樣貯存在你的腦海里。將來你會不自覺地運用這粒種子引發(fā)新的想法。多次運用這粒種子將有助于你把許多事情聯(lián)系起來，即使你做夢都想不到這些！這不是別的，就是創(chuàng)造力！你讀的書越多，你的心智就會前所未有地開闊。

The Pleasure of Reading 開卷有益

All the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books but we must know how to avail ourselves of this treasure and how get the most value from it. The unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.

歷史的智慧和數(shù)百年來陶冶人性的故事，所有這些都可從書中輕易獲得，且花費甚少。然而，我們必須懂得如何好好利用這筆財富，從中獲取最大價值。全天下最不幸的人就是那些從未體會到讀書妙處的人。

I am most interested in people, in meeting them and finding out about them. Some of the remarkable people I've met exited only in writer's imagination, then on the pages of his book, and then again, in my imagination. I have found in books new friend, new society and new words.

我對人頗為感興趣，想與他們相識、相知。一些我所認(rèn)識的卓越非凡的人僅僅存在于作者的想象中，然后他們的形象在文字中得到描述，最后他們活生生地出現(xiàn)在我的腦海里。在書中，我結(jié)交了新朋友，見識了新社會，認(rèn)識了新詞語。

If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in who as in how. Who in the books includes everybody from science-fiction superman two hundreds years in the future all the way back to the first figure in history. How covers everything from the ingenious explanations of Sherlock Holmes to the discoveries of science and the ways of teaching manners to children.

如果說我對人感興趣的話,那么別人感興趣的更多就是事.書中人物形象眾多,從歷史上第一個偉人一直到科幻小說中200年后的超人.書中的故事也無奇不有,從福爾摩斯偵探的神機妙算,到各種科學(xué)探索,再到如何教授孩子禮儀等。.

Reading is pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport. Your eagerness and knowledge quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes you mind work. Your own imagination work along with the authors or even beyond his.

Every book stand by itself, like a one family house, but books in a library are like house in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something, they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different place, the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solution according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other, they link the past the present and the future, and have their own generations, like family. whenever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the long run. You not find out about the word and people in it. You find out about yourself too.

Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you you "ought" to read. You probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you ,and then relax with it. You will almost certainly have a good time, and if you become as a result of reading better, wiser, kinder or more gentle. You won't have suftered during the process.
