Part 2 Thoughts 

今天的阅读信息量巨大，很多都看不明白，也发觉了自己的渺小。还是那句话，坚持下去，每天进步一点点。

Making a habit of reading what is being written today and what was written by earlier master . Writing is learned by imitation .

写作的学习就是模仿的一个过程。那模仿谁呢？之前自己也觉得能出现在书上报纸上的应该都是不会错的，值得背诵模仿的。但是今天看到这，觉得我们选择我们模仿的素材，必须是非常谨慎的。在我们还没有具备鉴别能力之前，还是应该多看看经典，错不到哪里去。呵呵
