If an athlete is limited to a lightweight or a comfortable opponent for himself, will his skill increase and he will win competitions? So is reading. One must be able to force oneself to read hard-written, thick-volume books ("many letters, few pictures"), long articles to the end.
“A useful book will be interesting. Being deceived into thinking that an interesting book is easy to read leads to the mistake of thinking that all easy-to-read books are always useful, or that a useful book is always interesting to write, and is blocked by a lot of new information. puts.
Let’s say you’re reading a lightly written book to boost your level of knowledge and thinking. The words in this book are easy to understand. Ask yourself, maybe you’re reading something you already know? There is also a benefit to this, of course: from the lessons you need to refine what you have learned before, to return what you have forgotten. But giving back the old does not mean gaining new knowledge.
Reading light or familiar things leads to a limitation of consciousness. Texts that seem boring and or difficult to you are probably useful for improving your skills or broadening your worldview, where there are new approaches, new information that you haven’t encountered before, undiscovered worlds?
The brain does not like unfamiliarity, immediately distracts, suffocates oxygen, begins to yawn, opens the abdomen, or calls for urination. The reason for this is that in the program of the brain organ “Have fun without stress! Save energy! ” command is completed. Instead of this simple command, the conscious person says, “Read and change, or you will perish! It's a little hard, you'll get a lot of pleasure in return! ” should also be able to like the program.
Convince yourself to take the most complex and fattest book you have found useful for the development of your profession or worldview. When reading is difficult to understand, you say to yourself, “I'm discovering new, unfamiliar things, so it's hard for my brain to master, and if I read to the end, it's a big deal to understand ten percent, even if it's not one hundred percent. I agree, even if it's just a little bit, because I'm developing at least some difficult reading skills, ”and attack the book to the last page.
In difficult books, a lot of misunderstood information still left a mark on the brain. If you don't understand this time, you'll come across the same information in other sources, and the brain will say "yes!" with the flame you suddenly realize something complicated. So you have to work with hard and long texts without stopping.
Although the first snow does not whiten the surface, it cools the ground so that the next snow can be stored. Even the most basic, incomprehensible information does not seem to be stored in memory. But it creates the first conditions for subsequent readings on the surface of understanding.
Finish big and challenging books to the end as the athlete returns to their heavy workouts.
