CCTV Night Reading Recommended Books📚
I want to read a book similar to "The Food of the World". Reason for recommendation: As the title of the book says, reading the entire personal state will make you feel full! Must-remember the golden saying: "What really matters is your gaze, not what you see in front of you."

Although life is not easy, if you think about the people you love, you can persist in living. Love what you love. It's okay, take your time. Grandma Moses was also about 76 years old. She gave up embroidery due to arthritis and then turned to painting. Do what you love and destiny will open a door for you. Anyone of any age can do what they want. Draw your own style, it's never too late to love, persevere and explore yourself. Stay young forever, preserve what youth should look like, and always have tears in your eyes. The best place to start is now. Accept life's imperfections. Talent is also achieved through constant and deliberate practice. Persist in sharpening a sword every day...
The pure heart of dying is what moves me. After reading Grandma Moses' life and then looking at her paintings, I feel that pure people are pure no matter what they experience, and this can be completely seen in her paintings. Is the pain of losing a husband, a daughter, and a son an understatement for Grandma Moses? No, I just think she accepted and accepted her fate. I think Grandma Moses did not pick up her passion because she was old. She just lived hard in every moment of her life, so she did not become famous occasionally, but her purity overflowed, so we saw it. A twilight old man seems far away from the young us, and the words she speaks seem to be lofty. How has she ever seen the anxiety of young people? No, it is precisely because she was young that she said these words. So when we are young, we always feel that we should be unbridled, stubborn, work hard to prove ourselves, and that we should be the center of attention. It seems that we are different and unique. In fact, it is not. Grandma Moses told us to purely feel life and grasp every moment. This is what counts as our uniqueness. Everyone's perception is different, so what we feel is also different, so don't these differences prove our uniqueness? Why does he need to be respected by all and know his name? I think that having a quiet, deep and clear heart, accepting it steadily and living purely is what we should be like. ————2025.12.14
Read the entire book on December 16, 2025. It took two hours to read the entire book. I saw Grandma Moses's open-minded attitude towards life. I think the whole book gave me many life mottos. I have also been reading the Harvard Psychology of Happiness recently. I feel that these two books are quite similar. They both have a positive attitude towards life throughout the book. I also solved a lot of knots in my heart. I like this book very much. The illustrations and text are very comfortable and suitable. It triggered a lot of my feelings and imagination. I have also recommended this book to many friends. I hope they can also learn a lot and grow into their favorites. Be the best version of yourself. The number of words in the book is quite small, which is one of the few books I have read. It is easy to absorb, very readable and practical. It has made me see and touch a lot from the source of my thoughts. It is a very philosophical book. Finally, I am grateful for the author's sincerity. I am grateful that the author has brought more understanding and reminders to us readers, which has allowed me to draw energy and courage to face myself. [Love]
It is indeed simple lines and colors that show the countryside atmosphere, and the group portraits are clear. You can see the working people, the changes of the four seasons, and the colors are vivid. The snowy part is also very good, the snowflakes are fluttering, as if falling into my heart. It's never too late to do anything, just go for it!
This book tells the life story of Grandma Moses. When Grandma Moses was 80 years old, her daughter suggested learning embroidery and then switching to painting. Then she persisted in her love for painting. After her old age, she was given the opportunity to be featured in the world's painting works. Her works became popular all over the world and were loved by people. The book combines drawings and brief descriptions of characters. The simple and natural story of Grandma Moses also tells everyone: it is never too late to start something you like to do. If you persist and love it, you will achieve something. Seize the right time in life and live on.
Grandma Moses' life experience made me feel that age is not the criterion for identifying a person. Feel life, feel yourself, and don't compare yourself with others. The things that happen every day between you and yourself yesterday are different, so don't be overly anxious. Find something you like to do, such as writing or singing. You will continue to devote energy to it and you will not get bored.
It mainly tells that Grandma Moses started painting at the age of 76 and enjoyed a certain reputation. At the age of 100, she inspired Junichi Watanabe (writer). As long as you want to do something, it's never too late. Just try, work hard and practice, and leave the rest to time.
This book is very short, but it completes the life of "Grandma Moses". Each of our lives can be written into a book, and everyone's life is wonderful. It's never too late to start life, just do whatever you want to do. For example, I like painting🎨, but I haven't learned it systematically, but I just paint. Whether it's copying or tracing, I love it. I enjoy the process of painting. No matter how much you like something, just do it. It's better to do it 100 times than to think about it 100 times. Act when you think of it. Don't be afraid. Life is only 30,000 days long.
Don't be afraid to start no matter how late it is. If you pursue what you like, you can work hard to become the person you want to be. If you don't finish it, there will be a process of hard work, and you will not leave any regrets in life [smile][smile]
Some habits are like a devil, making you afraid to leave familiar surroundings and familiar people. You are tightly trapped. You are afraid of wolves and tigers, and you dare not do anything. I am such a cowardly person, but sometimes I still have to understand her difficulties.
The life of Grandma Moses really embodied the four words "late bloomer". The most common examples of late bloomers we have heard in the past are those who achieved great achievements in life between their 40s and 60s. Grandma Moses only started painting at the age of 76, and achieved brilliant achievements in her life at the age of 80. It is incredible, and the reason for all this is just because of her hobby. As written in the book, what you really love is where your talent lies, and true love is actually hard to find. If you already have it, congratulations, you are very lucky. At the same time, remember to keep your love and don't lose it. Life can start at any time, and it is never too late. Grandma Moses' experience is the best example, so start taking action now, even a little bit, it is great.
If you like something, just start doing it. Life is full of uncertainties. It makes you feel happy. In the process of doing it, it makes you feel that your whole life is full of vitality. It can make you immersed, pure and excited. Such an experience is rewarding in itself, isn't it?
In fact, it was not written by Grandma Moses, it was just expanded upon based on her life experience and some words. It is relatively useless, but Grandma Moses is still very inspirational. As long as you have something you want to do, it's never too late, and if you persevere, it will eventually bear fruit.
I have always suspected that the paintings are good-looking, so I think the book is good-looking, but after thinking about it, the good-looking paintings are one thing. Some chapters, especially the chapter about time, and the chapter about pursuing dreams, really inspired me. The simplest and most popular words, coupled with fresh paintings, took me to visit the American countryside in 1-2 hours. Small but beautiful works, worth reading in a good afternoon.
This book is like a kind grandma chatting with you. She tells us, don't be afraid to start. As long as you have love and pursuit, it's never too late. Grandma Moses' words reminded me of my own experience of learning dance. Although I started late, I felt extremely happy every time I danced. As the book says: "Do what you like to do, and God will be happy to help you open the door to success." So, let us pursue our dreams bravely together!
A very healing book, like an intimate grandma talking to us. What surprises me is that I didn't expect such a fate between Grandma Moses and Junichi Watanabe. In addition, maternal love is a repeated disappointment. It seemed like it was the first time I heard this theory, but I burst into tears.
Grandma Moses is very open-minded, and she still has a childlike innocence even in her old age. Yes, as long as you think about it, it is never too late. There are two times to plant a tree, one is ten years ago, and the other is now. Reading this book is very relaxing, and looking at Grandma Moses's paintings is also very healing.
There are many similar feelings, and many sentences have awakened me. I am the person who doesn't know what I want to do or what I like. Running around for a living every day is indeed a mundane task. Reading this book made me feel that it is not too late to start now.
When I first started reading this book, I felt like a breeze. I wanted to continue reading and take a closer look at the life of Grandma Moses. She used a sentence: "It is never too late to start life" to remind confused people to be brave and persist in what they like. Thanks to a book friend. When I saw this book on her bookshelf, I was attracted to it at first sight. I think she is also the destined person who got private hair in the book. Life is wonderful sometimes.
Grandma Moses' writings are always innocent and simple. She has an ageless heart and a pair of children's eyes. Like a child, she remains curious and experimental about everything. When you get older, people no longer care about your appearance, but your rich soul.
The pictures are fresh and simple, with a feeling of cleansing the soul, and I yearn for the life in the pictures. Some of the texts are also very philosophical.
What impresses me most is that it is never too late in life. At this moment, when I am writing this review, I think this is the youngest time in my life, and this moment is my Mood for Love. Yesterday is gone; tomorrow has not yet come; the beautiful memories of yesterday have passed; and the beautiful visions of tomorrow are all created by painting by yourself at this moment.
Pretty good, the life of an ordinary but extraordinary old lady
It's a very calming book and very philosophical.
Very warm and healing. The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now.
The writing is very delicate but very powerful (for those who are not firm enough or confused about life and ideals)
The ordinary grandma Moses lived an extraordinary life! Her paintings are bright, beautiful and beautiful, making people happy and yearning to see them. The text in the book is very fresh and calming.
Very nice. Grandma Yu Seymour's positive and optimistic attitude toward life has deeply influenced how she and I view our own emotions, the things we like, and the family we choose.
Beautiful writing with lots of philosophy
Understanding some truths can be regarded as enlightenment during the period of confusion! A very good book.
