The Most Important Invention in My Mind
What is the most important invention in your mind? Maybe it is a question that deserves to consider.
I was puzzled at the question for whole night. Some may hold the opinions that the greatest invention in the world is electricity, while the others believe that computers cannot be replaced in the modern society. I lost myself in my wondering, suddenly an idea struck me: The greatest inventions are just books.
Gorky said: \"books are the ladder of progress.\" Exactly! That's what I would like to say firstly. In the long history of human being, books have played an important part in communicating knowledge. And even today, the situation is still so. Each year, millions of books are published in the world. Knowledge changes our lives. If a learned person wants to express some new idea, probably he will choose to write a book. On the other hand, the best way to broaden our horizons is reading books.Secondly, as I have been puzzled, books provide you with different ideas. And you make your decision to choose anyone that fit you. Or otherwise, you may choose none of them, just like I, instead of obeying books' advice. I choose \"books\" as the greatest invention in my eyes. So, don't you think it's a little interesting? Books are honored as teachers without sound. But how are books different from our real teachers? I think the fact is that if a real teacher advices me to choose electricity or computer as my topic today, and every one you can imagine, how much brave I will prepare to refuse. So don't you think books are better tempered and better to get along with than our real teachers?
