When reading, it is not unusual to have a certain utilitarian mentality. After all, education as a stepping stone to job hunting has laid a solid foundation for our future. However, we must not let utilitarian heart become the only motivation for learning. This paper will discuss the significance of reading to help readers better grasp the motivation of learning.

The meaning of reading

Reading is not only to acquire knowledge and skills, but also to know and understand the world. Through reading, we can broaden our horizons, increase our knowledge and improve our thinking ability and creativity.

The harm of utilitarian mentality

Too much pursuit of short-term interests may make us miss our enthusiasm for knowledge, our curiosity about the world and our pursuit of personal growth. These intangible wealth may not turn into tangible benefits immediately, but it is the cornerstone of our long-term development.

Enduring interest and motivation

On the way to study, besides the utilitarian purpose, we should also have lasting interest and motivation. Through continuous exploration, accumulation and progress, our knowledge will be broadened to the next level.
