過去簡單式

I literally hated reading when I was in primary school and junior high.

我在小學和國中的時候，真的超討厭看書。

to 不定詞

And maybe you had the same parents as me, the kind of who push you to read, but

而且你可能也跟我一樣，父母會一直逼你看書，

So you never had that so-called reading environment in your house

所以你家裡從來沒有那種所謂的「閱讀環境」，

你也從來不知道閱讀原來可以是什麼樣子。

I'm not exaggerating when I say for three or four years straight at the time,

我真的一點都不誇張地說，那時候連續三、四年，

I genuinely didn't know how to read or what to read.

我是真的不知道該怎麼讀，也不知道該讀什麼。

Last month, I posted a video about how reading can improve your language skills.

上個月我發了一支影片，講閱讀如何幫助提升語言能力。

"Yes, I know I need to read, but what should I actually read?"

「我知道我該看書，但到底要看什麼？」

Or you say, "I know I need to read, but I don't know where to start.

或是說：「我知道該看書，但不知道從哪開始，

So in this video, I want to share my journey from someone who genuinely hated reading

所以這支影片，我想分享我從一個真的很討厭閱讀的人，

to someone who, well, enjoys it right now a little bit sometimes.

到現在，嗯…偶爾其實還蠻享受閱讀的轉變過程。

And hopefully this can help you solve some of your own reading struggles with a book list,

希望能透過書單、我用的工具，

some tools I use, and a totally different mindset around reading.

還有一個完全不同的閱讀心態，幫助你解決閱讀的困擾。

First of all, let's talk about why reading feels so hard for us.

首先，我們來聊聊為什麼閱讀對我們來說這麼困難。

Compared to other ways we take in information like video, audio, conversation,

跟影片、音訊、對話這些吸收資訊的方式比起來，

You have to actively think, process, understand, and then absorb it as knowledge.

你要主動思考、理解、消化，然後吸收成知識。

It takes attention. It takes concentration.

它需要專注力，也需要集中精神。

And let's be real, some books are just not that interesting, right?

而且老實說，有些書真的不怎麼好看。

But we push ourselves to finish them anyway and that makes it worse.

但我們還是逼自己一定要讀完，結果反而更痛苦。

So the first principle is: You don't have to finish every book.

所以第一個原則是：你不必讀完每一本書。

And this changed everything for me. Seriously.

If a book is too hard, too boring, or just not clicking, just quit it.

如果一本書太難、太無聊，或是怎麼讀都不對勁，

There's no test, no one's grading you, right?

閱讀不是上學，沒有考試，也沒有人會給你打分數。

The whole point of reading is to choose what you want to learn actively, voluntarily.

閱讀的重點，是你自願、主動去選擇想學的東西。

所以如果不適合，就直接換一本。

I used to feel so guilty about quitting books.

我以前對放棄一本書會感到非常內疚。

But that guilt, it actually kept me from reading more

但這種內疚反而讓我更不想閱讀，

because I thought, "If I can't finish this, what's the point?"

因為我會想：「反正我也讀不完，那幹嘛開始？」

Read what you are interested in and if not serving, you just let it go.

讀你有興趣的，不適合的就放手，真的沒關係。

And here's where I use UPDF to make reading even easier.

接下來我會用 UPDF，讓閱讀變得更輕鬆。

When I find an article I really like, I will first highlight key points

當我看到一篇很喜歡的文章，我會先標註重點，

and secondly, add notes and annotations by using UPDF.

And third I use AI summary function to create a mind map for myself.

第三步，我會用 AI 摘要功能幫自己做心智圖。

This really helps me understand faster, remember better, and actually finish what I'm reading.

這真的讓我理解得更快、記得更牢，也更容易讀完。

Especially for longer articles or research papers, this mind map feature is a game changer.

尤其是長篇文章或研究論文，這功能真的超強。

I also use UPDF to read actual books, not just articles.

我也會用 UPDF 來讀真正的書，不只是文章。

你也可以用 Apple Books 或 Kindle。

I can highlight, add sticky notes, underline, and

可以畫重點、貼便利貼、底線，

also you can extract pages, save individual pages or sections just to share with your friends.

也能擷取頁面、儲存單頁或章節分享給朋友。

And also it has a very cool translation function.

而且它還有很棒的即時翻譯功能。

If a sentence is too hard, you can use the instant translation function.

如果一句話太難，可以直接翻譯。

I can literally ask questions about a book with AI.

I can talk about a book with AI and AI answers based on the text.

像是跟 AI 討論一本書，回答都基於原文。

It just makes the whole experiences of reading smoother and easier.

整個閱讀體驗就變得順很多、輕鬆很多。

And when reading feels easier, you do it more.

當閱讀變簡單，你自然就會更想讀。

Okay, principle number two: Start with your interest and your need.

好，第二個原則：從你的興趣和需求開始。

Especially if you're trying to improve your English, let's say.

尤其是如果你是為了提升英文。

Don't force yourself to read boring stuff just because it's good for you.

不要因為「對你有幫助」就逼自己看無聊的東西。

Just look at where your money goes and look at where your time goes.

看看你的錢花在哪裡、時間花在哪裡。

For example, for me, I enjoy fashion topics, AI products, language learning things.

像我喜歡時尚、AI 產品、語言學習。

So I search for articles about those topics.

You can just google "best AI tools 2025."

你可以直接搜尋「2025 最佳 AI 工具」。

Or search on social media, "fashion trends analysis."

I used to only read about language learning.

Then I realized my knowledge was incredibly narrow.

後來我發現我的知識其實非常狹隘。

I knew three languages, but I didn't know how businesses work.

After graduation, learning only happens two ways.

畢業之後，學習只剩兩種方式。

So I started asking, "What do I need to know that I don't know yet?"

Reading about things I didn't know made me more excited than reading familiar stuff.

「有哪些是我還不知道，但應該知道的？」

So, if you feel your life is stuck or something,

you just read something that you are unfamiliar with.

讀陌生的東西，比熟悉的更讓我興奮。

When you encounter new ideas, your brain wakes up.

當你接觸新觀念，大腦真的會被喚醒。

So my advice is that don't ask yourself, "Is this useful? I'm not gonna use it in my work."

所以別再問自己：「這對我工作有用嗎？」

They're building blocks of your personality.

Not a single sentence you read is wasted.

你讀過的每一句話都不會白費。

Even if you don't remember every detail, it shapes how you think.

即使你不記得細節，它仍然會影響你的思考方式。

It gives you a richer perspective of the world.
