Reading is not just about learning a certain skill.读书，不光是去学习一门特定的技能。Nor is it just about learning how to create prettier combination of words.也不只是为了学习怎样让文字的组合更优美。Reading is a form of communication which is in a higher rank than mere conversation.读书，其实是一种比对话更高级的交流方式。Many successful people have shared the same kind of wisdom that if you want to become a kind of person you should try your best to spend time with this kind of people.很多成功人士都曾分享这样一个经验：如果你想成为怎样的人，就尽量多和这样的人在一起。If you want to become someone with good manner, you should tryto make friends with people who have good manner.如果你想成为一个有涵养的人，就尽力去交一些有涵养的朋友。If you want to become someone learned, you should try to stay intouch with learned people.如果你想成为一个博学的人，就应该去和博学的人交流。If you want to become someone successful, you surely should communicate with those who are actually successful.如果你想成为一个成功人士，那当然应该多和真正成功的人交流。But unfortunately, outstanding people are usually far away from us. If you yourself are not outstanding enough, it's almost impossible for you to reach them
