今天给大家分享“码住书单!哈佛、普林斯顿等名校力荐,不断保持对知识的追求”
哈佛大学历史上在任时间最长的校长查尔斯·威廉·埃利奥特,在一次演讲中提出:“若每天用15分钟来阅读经典,四年毕业后所读的书就可以摆满一个五英尺长的书架。
董宇辉老师也曾在《青春大课》演讲中提到读书的意义:“我们为什么读书?其实先贤给出了非常准确的答案,对爱情的渴望,对知识的追求,对人类苦难,难以遏制的同情心。运气永远会垂青那些时刻准备好的人,知识就是你的武器,书籍永远都是你的朋友,在顺境中多做事,在逆境中多读书。”
近期,我们整理了“哈佛、普林斯顿、斯坦福、芝加哥大学的暑期阅读书单”,这些书单往往都紧跟社会时事,不同学校列出的书单也迥然不同,体现出独特的校园特色,大家可以根据自己的兴趣爱好进行选读。
