are the medium of civilization<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Books are the ladder of human progress and reading is the way to acquire the knowledge from book. We have seen biographies or stories of great or successful people since we were young, and books will almost certainly be part of it. This is no coincidence, because books are the medium through which the human wisdom is recorded. Through books, we can pass on the wisdom and experience of human beings. Even if the technology is more advanced and the contents are so advanced, it will only change the way of knowledge dissemination, but they cannot replace the original position of books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another blog post of mine, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2021\/09\/09\/choose-media-wisely\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Choose Media Wisely<\/a>&#8221; I went out of my way to point out that books always come first, and that&#8217;s exactly why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buffett_and_Munger_are_the_advocator\"><\/span><strong>Buffett and Munger are the advocator<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Buffett always said simply and clearly, \u201cRead everything you can,\u201d he told shareholders in 2007. Buffett said that what he read while growing up laid his own investment methods and laid the cornerstone of success for investing in the next 50 years. This is the only secret of his investment success, and it is also the secret that he has believed in for many years and has been continuously promoting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t assume that Buffett only recommends people to read financial-related books. Buffett said: As long as it is a book that touches your heart, you should read it. Through a lot of reading, you should shape your style and judge the principles of things. Munger also likes to read. He once said: &#8220;I don\u2019t think you can get to be a really good investor over a broad range without doing a massive amount of reading. I don\u2019t think any one book will do it for you.&#8221; &#8220;You&#8217;d be amazed at how much Warren reads\u2014and how much I read.&nbsp;My children laugh&nbsp;at&nbsp;me.&nbsp;They think&nbsp;I&#8217;m&nbsp;a&nbsp;book&nbsp;with a couple of&nbsp;legs&nbsp;sticking out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reading_can_build_your_own_philosophy\"><\/span><strong>Reading can build your own philosophy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading can shape a person\u2019s central thoughts and value judgment ability, establish a personal style, and extensive reading can make one understand the world and increase one\u2019s judgment ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reading_has_compound_interest_power\"><\/span><strong>Reading has compound interest power <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, reading is an investment with the least cost to oneself and the greatest return. A book is only about US$10 to US$ 30, but it carries the hard work and wisdom of the author. We only need to spend this little money to get the wisdom of others for a lifetime; is there any investment with a higher return rate than this in the world? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only that, but books are read into your own mind and become a part of your own thoughts. They will be useful for your life. Not only can they not be stolen by others, but as time goes by, the more things you read, the more you can accumulate and form your own lifelong thoughts to make you smarter \u2500\u2500 The compound interest power gained over time by long-term reading is just like an investment; the benefits to you will be far beyond your imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buffett was asked by a fresh graduate of the business school how to become smarter. Buffett once held up a stack of documents and said, &#8220;Read 500 pages like this&nbsp;every day.&#8221;, &#8220;That\u2019s how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it.&#8221; Even though he is now rich and powerful, he still spends 80% of his working time on reading.\u3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warren Buffett says, \u201cI just sit in my office and read all day.\u201d\u3000What does that mean? He estimates that he spends 80% of his working day reading and thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legend_books_are_worth_re-read\"><\/span><strong>Legend books are worth re-read<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I mentioned in the my book &#8220;The Rules of Super Growth Stocks Investing&#8221; that legend books will never be out of date. It is worth reading a few more times. I also often do this myself. I read on my way to office. When you have repeatedly seen the truth expressed in the successful investment master book are so consistent with your own beliefs, then I want to congratulate you, which means that you are on the right and successful investment path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading those legend books a few times, the guidance of investment concepts and the experience of successful investors will help you unexpectedly. These subtle changes will not be immediate, but they will definitely be reflected in long-term investment performance. It can save us a lot of wrongdoing and reduce the chance of making mistakes (the chance of making mistakes is one of the determinants of investment success).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have written 39 computer books and finance books myself (see the link at the end of this article), and read more than 800 business and finance books in Chinese and English. I know the hard work of the authors and the intentions of the authors, as well as the benefits of reading. I am often asked about the ways in which I can benefit the most from investment, and reading is bound to be one of my answers. As far as I know of the well-known and successful investment masters recognized in history, or the people around me who invest success, no one does not spend a lot of time on reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/ThoughtCatalog-1600x1200-1.jpg\" alt=\"Reading\" class=\"wp-image-14056\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">credit: ThoughtCatalog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technology_cannot_replace_reading\"><\/span><strong>Technology cannot replace reading<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading takes time, but its status (necessity) will never be replaced. Due to the advancement of technology, people in the early days without the Internet like to watch financial TV (and many people still do), and many people either watch live broadcasts of Internet celebrities or use social networks. Most people\u2019s point of view is that watching financial TV, online celebrity live broadcasts or social networks can make you pleased. I like to listen to what they say (the effect is the same as that of chasing dramas or making jokes. Killing time, and then won&#8217;t gain knowledge \u2500\u2500\u2500 Is anyone chasing dramas from variety shows with the mentality of acquiring knowledge?). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second reason is to save your own investment research time (holding this point is destined to be difficult to invest success and get rich), do not have to read your own books (but you are actually wasting your life to help their ratings), get financial knowledge (really? Are you sure?); This is the perception of ordinary people, but this is the wrong perception and the reason why they can always exist. As I mentioned on Chapter 1 of my book &#8220;The Rules of Super Growth Stocks Investing&#8221; , these are not only not regarded as investment homework, but will waste your precious time in your life. But the wrong investment concept will be instilled unknowingly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/kaboompics.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/kaboompics.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/kaboompics-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: kaboompics<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reading_forces_you_to_concentrate_and_think\"><\/span><strong>Reading forces you to concentrate and think<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But reading can save you from these troubles, and what you read will be the first-hand original information, rather than the processed second-hand spread. In addition, most people know that reading can gain knowledge, but everyone has forgotten the biggest benefit \u2500\u2500\u2500 Reading can make people concentrate and induce your thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the biggest benefit. Independent thinking is one of the biggest key factors for investors to succeed, but the premise is how do you think? It is based on your wishful thinking or preconceived subjective prejudices, or facts (usually you must rely on reading to get it). There is a very big difference between the two, and it also determines the success or failure of investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reading_to_keep_your_brain_exercised\"><\/span>Reading to keep your brain exercised<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>David Rubenstein, co-founder and executive chairman, The Carlyle Group (ticker: CG), \u201cI am a voracious <strong>reader<\/strong>. My parents couldn\u2019t afford to buy books for me. I would walk two miles to the public library to take out books. I love <strong>reading<\/strong>. The <em>brain is a muscle and you have to exercise it<\/em>. Right now 40% of all high school graduates have not read a book in the last year. People don\u2019t choose to read a book. I try to<strong> read <\/strong>two books a week.&nbsp;It sounds like a lot but I am not reading physics textbooks, I am<strong> reading <\/strong><em>history and biographies and business<\/em>, things I know about so I can get through them pretty quickly. I try to read because I am exercising my brain, I think if the muscle isn\u2019t used the brain can atrophy. It\u2019s very important to me. I am obsessed with reading <em>newspapers<\/em>, I read about four or five or six a day. <strong>Reading <\/strong>is everything to me. I think if you are going to be a successful business people you have to <em>keep your brain exercised<\/em> &#8211; <strong>reading<\/strong> and <strong>reading<\/strong> and <strong>reading<\/strong>.&nbsp;You never know what you\u2019ll learn that will help your business career.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A lot of the people that were doing some of these stocks were young people who really hadn\u2019t read anything\u2013they were just following a trend. And I think they weren\u2019t as well informed as they probably should have been. The trick of being a good investor is to read and know what you\u2019re doing. And a lot of times people just got in the markets and didn\u2019t know what they were doing.&nbsp;&#8220;, he said<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_never_read_too_much\"><\/span>You can never read too much<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>David Rubenstein listed some of the traits shared by successful people, saying first that every successful person he\u2019s known has had a voracious thirst for knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can never read too much,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his new book, &#8220;how to invest&#8221;, he wrote &#8220;They really love to read as much as they can, even if it\u2019s not about the area that they\u2019re investing in. They are sponges for information.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_Buffett_read\"><\/span>What does Buffett read?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a 1991 speech at the University of Notre Dame, Buffett expressed his passion for continuous learning: &#8220;I read all kinds of business publications. I read a lot of industry publications\u2026 I&#8217;ll just grab whatever comes to me in the morning. American Banker comes to me every day, and I read it. I also read The Wall Street Journal, of course. I read Editor and Publisher, Broadcasting Magazine, Property Casualty Review, even Jeffrey Meyer&#8217;s Beverage Digest\u2014everything. I own 100 shares of almost every stock I can think of, just to get all the reports. I carry prospectuses and proxy statements with me to read.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, Buffett stated at the 2001 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders&#8217; meeting: &#8220;When I started investing, I read those manuals page by page. I mean, I probably read 20,000 pages of Moody&#8217;s Industrial, Transportation, Banking, and Financial Manuals twice. I also looked at the data on every company, but not in the most detailed way on some.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Closing_words\"><\/span>Closing words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, I really can&#8217;t say that there is any way to replace the necessity of reading. Not now, and there won&#8217;t be in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The author of book &#8220;The Almanack of Naval Ravikant&#8221; Naval Ravikant said: \u201cIt almost doesn\u2019t matter what you read,\u201d says investor Naval Ravikant. \u201cEventually, you will read enough things (and your interests will lead you there) that it will dramatically improve your life. Just like the best workout for you is one you\u2019re excited enough to do every day, I would say for books, blogs, tweets, or whatever \u2014 anything with ideas and information and learning \u2014 the best ones to read are the ones you\u2019re excited about reading all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span>References<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2022\/04\/25\/the-almanack-of-naval-ravikant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">An excellent book for career and life- The Almanack of Naval Ravikant<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/granitefirm.com\/us\/investing\/reference\/legendbooks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Legend Investment Books<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/granitefirm.com\/us\/investing\/reference\/morelegendbooks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Other Investment Books<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/granitefirm.com\/us\/software\/publish\/computer_books_published.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">My Technology Publications<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/granitefirm.com\/us\/investing\/publish\/books_published.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">My Financial Publications<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_articles\"><\/span>Related articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2021\/08\/10\/reading-is-irreplaceable\/\">Reading is irreplaceable and necessity of for investors<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>The content of this site is the author\u2019s personal opinions and is for reference only.
