The man who reads books, lives a thousand lives; one who does not read, only one lives. George Martin
You want to stand out from the crowd and stop being the same as all? Start reading. Each of us knows what's cool to read, reading is useful, but do not do it all. The same situation is with proper nutrition, exercise, sleep - the list goes on long enough. Most people seemed to just do not want to become smarter and gain new knowledge.
Of course, now I get the entertainment portion of a much easier and simpler than ever before. Facebook, computer games, TV - everything is so close that only need to lend a hand. It is difficult to resist. But this must be resisted.
Spent last year, the study found that 35% of Russians do not read. Even miserable detektivchika. And the same situation in schools and universities. I know because I was there. When you read a book that you really like, you remember you a lot more information than if you're just trying to memorize something.
It is time to understand that learning does not end at the moment when you release from the university.
From whatever problem you may come across someone who is much smarter, it has long been decided and wrote a book or article. Save time and solve many of your problems you can easily just start reading.
Books - this is also one of the best investments you can make. We heard the phrase that we must invest in yourself? So this book - this is such investment. Suppose that the author who wrote the book, spent on research and gain experience 100 hours of time. What does this mean for you? Just the fact that you can save yourself 100 hours of time reading his book.
Imagine how much time can be saved by reading the books of Donald Trump, Warren Buffet, Dale Carnegie and other well-known writers. Many studies conducted on the topic of reading, showed that the reading:
- increase vocabulary;
- improved creative abilities in various fields;
- reduced stress;
- improved verbal skills.
In addition, when reading an art book, you can experience many events and get used to the role of the protagonist. And believe me, it is a wonderful feeling! That's what Warren Buffett He responded to a question about how to become more intelligent:
Read the 500 pages daily. This advice really works. Each of you can do it, but not everyone does.
Buffett realized that even after he issued a secret, no one does not use it. Although, hell, every one of us is looking for a unique rule, due to which people turn into millionaires, change their lives and become successful.
For example, Mark Cuban, the famous American billionaire, while started his first business, I read every book in the bookstore, he could find. He realized that $ 20 - this is not the price for the potential to discover a new way to attract customers, or the introduction of new solutions. That is a lesson that he ruled:
All the people in this world, the same amount of information available, but almost no one wants to use it.
The truth is that most people read a few hours a month, or even less. Read more than they are, and you will stand out from the crowd and learn a lot of new useful information and then apply it in real life!
It is no secret how to read every day. You just need to make it is part of their routine. 20 pages per day, equal to 25 books a year. Will you be able to take the time to read them? Hopefully.
