Children say that a scholar is useless. Is reading really useless?
Whether reading was useful or not was a relative question. In some cases, reading books may bring direct benefits such as increasing knowledge reserves, improving thinking ability, cultivating creativity, and so on. In other cases, reading books may bring indirect benefits such as improving social skills, increasing self-confidence, cultivating reading habits, and so on. In some novels, the word scholar often appeared. They were often described as having deep cultural attainments and superb thinking ability, able to provide help and support to the protagonist. Therefore, reading books may indeed have direct benefits in certain situations. However, studying was not omnipotent. In many cases, success was not entirely dependent on knowledge and thinking ability. In real life, there are many factors that will affect a person's success, such as family background, interpersonal relationships, opportunities, and so on. Therefore, studying was not the only way to succeed. Reading books may bring some direct and indirect benefits, but it does not guarantee that a person will succeed. The most important thing was to find a suitable learning method and path to fully develop one's potential and be brave enough to try and explore.
