About how to read a book

1.Before you read a book. Try to figure out what kind of information you want to get from this book, that is to say “what’s your purpose of this reading?” If you know where you’re going, you will be more focus and fast. So select a good book and read the topics you’re really interested in then absorb it.

2.About how to read a book. We should not read the books word by word, which will not increase your comprehension and understanding of the books. The correct way to read a book is “photo reading”. Read the book as fast as can, try to get the information you really want and skip the contents that are useless to you. It’s ok and enough that if you could only get 1% of useful information that really works. So don’t worry you will miss something in the lines. The reason you miss them is they are not important and interesting; otherwise they would catch your eyes. So I am taking some time to practice the “photo reading” and “fast reading” these days.

3.About the information you get from the book. While we are reading, we should not make any marks or try to write down the content we are interested in, but try to accumulate the knowledge in head. We can use our imagination to connect the knowledge together. In order to use this method, one should keep reading all the time, at least 10 books per month.
4.After you finish reading the book. Instead of copying the words from the book, we should use our own language to summarize what we learn from the book. Last but not the least , never forget to share what you learn with others. The best way to learn is to teach , besides you can make friends and make your positive influence on others.

5. When you are sharing, please pay attention to your logic structure to make others easily to understand. Try to use number as possible as you can, which would make you more logical.
6. Keep yourself in the information all the time. If you can’t read books sometimes, try to listen to some audio books by your MP3 player. Don’t waste your time watch TV.

7. This tip is written for me. When you finish your university education and enter the society to start your career, you have to keep learning after work. Why? Because to this society, you are as a blank paper now, do you want to keep it empty or fulfill it with knowledge？ So keep working, keep learning.
