[00:07.67]Should We Read Selectively or Extensively?
[00:12.58]How should we read?
[00:15.26]Should we read selectively or extensively?
[00:19.12]People's views on this issue vary from one to another.
[00:23.72]Some insist that we should read selectively.
[00:28.17]They argue that among the wide range of books
[00:31.88]that are published and available to us,
[00:34.55]there are beneficial ones as well as harmful ones.
[00:37.91]Only books which are informative,
[00:41.09]instructive or innovative are worth the money
[00:45.00]and time we spend on them.
[00:46.80]However, others disagree by stating that
[00:51.15]we should read extensively.
[00:53.08]They emphasize that our current society is no longer
[00:57.66]what it used to be
[00:58.56]and people with knowledge limited
[01:01.35]in one aspect may lack the opportunity to succeed.
[01:05.40]In other words, if one craves for success,
[01:09.63]he/she should read on a large scale to acquire
[01:14.28]as much knowledge as possible.
[01:16.22]From my point of view,
[01:18.77]we can read extensively at first.
[01:21.51]When we find a subject we are interested in,
[01:25.25]we can spend more time reading books
[01:28.29]related to this subject selectively.
