Without reading and books, we could never have reached the newer boundaries of life that exist today. Evolution of science, technology, space, etc. would not be possible without progressive transfer of knowledge.
Without reading and books, mankind couldn’t have passed on the progressive knowledge from one generation to the next. Every new generation would have had to figure out the realities of life for themselves.
Reading is the most powerful human skill since it helps us learn new things, improve things we miss and sprout new ideas in our minds.
Reading is just the beginning, once you read, you need to learn and once you learn you need to do what you learned.
The true value of reading is when this chain is complete:
Reading —> Learning —> Doing —> Change that happens in life.
The internet is the new book, with gigantic and abundance of reading material – we all are reading. However, many miss the next steps that can truly bring change in our lives.
Reading something and then sharing/liking it will help you little.
Learning it, doing it, and then doing it again till it’s a habit is what will bring true change.
