9. You will strengthen your patience muscles
多读书会增强你的耐力肌肉
We live in a society that expects instant gratification, which is anything but a blessing for most people’s success in life, as there is nothing “quick” or “easy” about losing weight or starting a successful business. While it might be “easier” to watch a two-hour movie, it is far more beneficial to spend forty-eight hours reading a book. Opting for the book over the TV will strengthen your patience muscles over time, resulting in more success in business and life.
我们生活在一个期望即时满足的社会,对大多数人成功生活而言,我们只能祝福了:因为对于减肥或成功开始一份事业,并没有什么“快速” 或“容易” 的路途可走。虽然看两小时的电影可能会比较“容易”,但花48个小时阅读一本书却有益得多。选择阅读而不是看电视,随着时间的推移这会增强你的“耐力肌肉”,结果工作和生活都会取得比较大的成功。
