Weekend is always mentally and physically revitalizing to me when we spend time with the children. Their youthful presence is very contagious.
Yesterday we walked on Brooklyn streets with my son and stepped into Barnes & Nobel's bookstore. There I saw the book that I wanted to borrow from the library but it's not available yet because it came out last November, Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes by Morgan Housel. My son said, if you want to read it, I'll buy it. So he did.
On the way back, he recalled, when they were small, we used to spend a lot of time in bookstore, reading books there but seldom bought books. This has been rather impactful on him even now, the love of reading. So delighted to hear this.
I remember my father wrote these characters on a piece of paper and displayed on his desk, 开卷有益 (Kāi juàn yǒu yì). The literal meaning is: it is always beneficial to open a book. These words underscore the belief that reading and learning can always benefit you. It encourages lifelong learning and the continuous exploration in the sea of knowledge for growth and enlightenment.
A person won't go wrong as long as he loves reading.
