You Are Unwise If You Don’t Cultivate This Habit
All knowledge of this world lies in your hands
Imagine you could access all the secrets of success, all the life experiences, and expert opinions. Wouldn’t you want to soak all this knowledge in?
Nonetheless, reading has become a habit that’s neglected in our times. Until this century, knowledge was preserved in the form of books. Countless generations of scholars, thinkers, businessmen, and people of influence have written books on their areas of specialty.
Couldn’t you just make all these experiences yourself? Indeed, this would be more effective for learning purposes. Nonetheless, it’s unwise to make mistakes that others have already made for you. You probably won’t have enough time enough for that anyway. As George R. R. Martin puts it:
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies . . . The man who never reads lives only one.”
We are what we think. No input equals no output. Don’t deprive yourself of the joy of reading.
