Be a “book smart”

Read A Lot of Books 

多读书 

You might wonder how exactly Jeff Bezos or Mark Cuban got so dang savvy. The answer is they read books. That's why they call it book smarts. 

你可能会好奇，杰夫·贝索斯（亚马逊公司CEO）和马克·库班为什么这么有才，答案就是“多读书”，这就是为什么人们所说的“书中的智慧”。

People forget about books, but they are absolutely crucial to gaining true knowledge on subjects; and as they say, knowledge is power. If you do not seek knowledge throughout your life, you will not find it. Watching educational YouTube videos and skimming internet articles can give you a quick fix, but nothing can ever replace a book. 

人们常常忘了读书，但是书籍对于获取知识来说，是至关重要的。就像人们说的，知识就是力量，如果在生命历程里你不去追求知识，你就找不到知识。看教学类的视频或者浏览网页文章，只是权宜之计，没有什么能取代书籍。 

People spend their whole lives researching something and then write a book about it. They truly understand it and by writing a book, they are telling you the most important parts about it with easily digestible information. What a gift! 

作家穷其一生研究一个领域，然后把毕生的经验写成书。他们是真正了解了自己所做的事情，才写成了一本书。而且他们用通俗易懂的语言就把最重要的道理通过书籍的形式呈现出来，这是多么宝贵的一份礼物啊！

If you have tried reading and you just can't, try audiobooks! According to research conducted by Thomas Corley for his book Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals, 65% of rich people claimed they listened to audiobooks on the way to work. On the contrary, only 5% of impoverished people claimed to do the same. There is a wealth of information out there for any one, you just have to take the time to absorb it. 

如果你看书看不进去，可以尝试听音频书籍。作者Thomas Corley在他的书籍《成功的习惯》里做了一份研究，65%的成功人士在去公司的路上会收听音频书籍。相反，穷人里面只有5%的人这样做。书中自有黄金屋，你需要做的就是抽出一点时间去吸收书里面的精华。
