As the saying goes, reading develops your mind and it expands your intellectual horizon. Most people wish they read more. It is an activity that is both fun and enightening. It can help us be more knowledgeable and successful. We all want to develop a book reading habit but time constraints and lack of interst always puts this habit in the back burner. Besides, there are so many distractions these days like the internet and the television.

Therefore, what you would ideally require is developing the reading habit. Perhaps because it’s the most natural habit to inculcate. Ordinarily kids dislike reading material that is dedicatedly made for them as their appreciation for listening skills are so honed that school sub consciously makes them listen to tales and instructions. A good book or reading an information piece makes the deal companion; it’s interesting, builds on your patience and allows you to grow in the pool of knowledge without you realizing it. Of course, the type of books you read quite generally depends on your attitude and personalit. But reading as a habit  has always allowed to nurture a wholesome sense of well being. Perhaps this innately happens to all of us as each one of us as children truly despised them in school.

In addition, we as human beings, distinct as we are from the rest of the living species need to build up this habit of reading as especially for kids it’s really difficult for parents to make the switch from a tatally pictured short comic to a immensely boring book of at least a hundred pages, specifically one that has no images or diagrams. And as we age the books also tend to age with us. With our professional lifestyles, it’s difficult to manage a non-fiction, with deadlines set for the next day’s presentation! After all who’d want a taste of the boss’s ire. Many of us miss out on reading in this very manner and sadly it is only in times of sorrowor grief that we seek refuge in reading some sensible stuff that is either in the form of a “live it up!”, book or some of us might be inclined towards religion!

Of course all of this reading comes only next to our listening to others talk about optimism when we are down and out. From al of this we can conclude that if we choose to make reading our constant companion, we’ll never walk alone. Besides we’ll have more to discover in life than we’d ever thought about. Some research shows that if you read ten books a year, you are in the top few percent of all people as readers. Simply stated, it doesn’t take much to be well read, but we do need to how to get started. Think about it, somehwere, in some bright corner of the world, there are some books waiting for you. Lat’s learn something in today’s discussion!
