III. Discussion
People on the site are divided into four groups, and
each group discusses about significance of reading.One of the groups discussed warmly. Xiaojia shared her
takeaway from reading: I usually read three kinds of books: game books, tool
books and books I’m interested in.I read game books so that I have common topics with few
friends and we talk about strategies with each other.I read tool books to improve my working efficiency,
for example, I learn and some excel skills.Moreover, I read some books I show interest in. For
instance, I read Freakonomics and Sharing Economy recently, from which I
accumulate more materials so that I have more topics while communicating with
others and enhance my personal cohesive force.
IV. Sharing
Xiaojia: Reading makes a person establish his self-confidence,
enhance his personal charm, reading is to read stories and increase the common
ground in communication with others.
Xiaomai: Reading makes us realize impact of language
on a person. For example, the book Non-violence Communication enables me to
know that we need to observe, feel and put forth our needs when we are facing a
non-violence communication phenomenon.
Xiaomo: Reading a book of different subject matter is
like opening the gate to another world.
Xiaojie: Reading the same book at different periods
brings us different gains, and different people have different opinions on the
same book.
Xiaoqin: We all know that people speak to influence on
the audience, affect subsequent behaviors of the latter, and different ways of
communication cause the audience to act differently. From Romance of the Three
Kingdoms, we learn how to communicate with other people, and we learn from
decision makers there how they manage their business, learn from them how to
behave in the society and to be a man-of-virtue.
V.Recommendation of books for this issue
The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind is a
masterpiece, true to its name. In this book, the author points out that modern
life has gradually become a gathering of people. Once an individual enters a
group, his personality falls into oblivion, thought of the group dominates,
behaviors of the group tend to be repulsive of dissent, extreme, emotional and
low witted, and hence it produces destructive impact on the society.

everybody, which is right the original intent of the party we hold: to share,
to exchange, to collide and to harvest. We hope more friends to join us and
