Reading is useless, it is a waste of life. Reading is to enlighten wisdom, broaden horizons, absorb nutrition and help success.
Warren Buffett said that among all the smart people I have come into contact with, there is no one who doesn't like reading. The implication is that if you want to be smart enough, you must keep reading and make yourself smart. Isn't that utilitarian?
Bill Gates shares his book list with netizens every year, and his fans also buy corresponding books to read. They are all eager to get high-quality nutrition from the books recommended by Gates. Isn't this utilitarian?
We went to school since childhood in order to find a good job and a well-paid job in the future. Every student is utilitarian and spends twenty or thirty years studying. If there is no utilitarian heart, it is a waste of 20 years and 20 years of life.
Everyone's energy and time are limited, and there is no way to choose targeted reading.
For example, the book club is a business model to help reading. The purpose is to choose books and spend less time choosing the essence of a book and sharing it with subscribers. This is the best proof of the utility of reading.
In short, students must have a utilitarian purpose in reading, and only when they are utilitarian can they have a purpose and pertinence.
