Reading books

Some things we always know but there is no intention in us to implement them. Thinking about them, this topic comes in mind, well at least mine did. What I am trying to say is we know that reading books is good, we can acquire so much knowledge by just reading some letters which together made some words and the words came together in someone’s mind and he wrote it in a paper and here it is, his or her unique way of thinking or an idea or knowledge right in front of us, literally all of us. But most of us just don’t grab one.

Talking about grabbing, if you sit and think how much garbage we grab each day every day, your mind could be blown. We have become information hungry that in the pursuit to grab more and more information we have lost the ability to dedicate time to process that information ultimately wasting all the time spent in acquiring that information. Put your phone away, just sit and do nothing… I bet you can’t stay much longer. An invisible attraction force will pull you towards the device you keep always close to you, always scrolling through. But that is a problem and knowing it, you have to do something with it. Please gather courage.

Enjoy reading:

Reading can be highly enjoyable (for those who think it is too boring) in this era of technologies only you have to choose correctly. Everybody have a different taste and the number of books is close to unlimited so there is a good chance of finding a book you can connect with. Try reading a book which can be chosen on basis of title and ratings, if you feel you are just forcing yourself for like a week you should consider choosing another one.

Reading environment:

Imagine you have opened a book in your lap sitting on a sofa, with five other members, TV playing in front of you and you – are trying to focus on the book. Not an ideal place is it? Find or create a place in your home where you can comfortably sit with a good book without interruptions. Interruptions include TV, your mobile phone, laptop, music and noisy family members.

Book source:

I think there is no need to tell you that there are plenty of good book stores now and there are online market also like Amazon and many more to get a book with a good discount. If you are not sure about buying it try taking a look at reviews other readers have made about it, for example take goodreads or search for an free pdf, you might get it. Libraries are always a great place to read books without any charge. It is fun to browse through the books people have donated.

Reading hour:

Finding best time for reading? like silence everywhere, no one to disturb just you and whatever you want to do… doesn’t it sounds like time after dinner? Yes. Try reading after dinner may be one hour before going to bed. It is just a suggestion, you can choose whenever you feel comfortable.

Recommendation:

If you don’t know yet, people, intelligent people, read books like a daily habit and they share there recommendations much often. Take Bill Gates for example, he uses social media like Twitter and Instagram to share his thoughts and recommendations to us. Use it.
