Please listen to my song tomorrow.
In the Ming Dynasty, Wen Jia wrote another Song of Today, which read: Today is today, and today is so rare! If you don't do it today, when will it happen?

13. Liang Qichao's reading method
First, reading should be divided into special reading and exposition. On the one hand, we should develop the habit of reading carefully, on the other hand, we should develop the habit of reading quickly. If you don't know the details, you will get nothing, which is equivalent to reading in vain. If you don't have quick eyes, you won't have enough time to get information.
