The hunger of the mind can be satisfied through a lot of reading．Reading has been the most helpful tool used by us from childhood．There are so many books which will answer all your questions．When you read a book，you don't just run your eyes through the lines，but your mind also explains it to you．The interesting part of the book is kept in your mind as a seed（种子）．Now this seed is unknowingly（不知不觉地）used by you in the future to develop new ideas．
