we are what we read When I was in high school, my English teacher always told me "reading can shape your heart and soul, the more books you read, the clearer your spirit will be. " At that time, I was too young to understand the meaning. I just read the teaching material and this situation lasted about 1 year. There is one thing which changed my opinion about reading. My Chinese teacher, an intelligent man asked me a question "Are you a knowledgeable person ? " I said "no". " Why don't you read books in that case. ? Descartes once said a person who learns more and more founds his ignorance. "I just keep silence. I knew he was not malicious. After all he reated me well all the time. I began to think about his words and read some books. Gradually I formed a habit of reading. It was so amazing and wonderful of books. From then on, I would read a book once a week. I learned so many things from it. Books opened my eyes and horizons. Gorky said "Books help a person improves himself. Leo Tolstoy also said "A wanted book is the key to wisdom. According to those people's saying, we can easily know the fact that reading is so important for a person. It was not only the source of intelligence but also the power of spirit world. So just read books. It would be benefit to your life.
