Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot
Today the strongest competitors of reading is the TV and Internet.Unlike sitting in front of the idiot box(TV), reading keeps your brain active.Though Internet is easily accessible to various informations and more free online stories,magazines and other interesting articles ,young and old alike are showing more interest in online gaming and other social websites to while away their time.
Reading books improves your vocabulary thereby helps you to communicate with others more effectively.It improves your concentration and helps you to focus on what you are reading.Reading gives you an opportunity to know about places and people you had never heard of before,and to know about the different cultures in practise around the world.
The more books you read the more knowledgable you become,with more knowledge comes more confidence,more confidence brings more people into your contact.Have you ever been in a situation where you did'nt have anything to talk about when among friends or relatives? Reading widens your knowledge you always have something to talk about.You can discuss the stories you have read,you can discuss the various news and articles you had read and the possibilities of sharing becomes endless.
Reading reduces boredom,whenever I feel bored I pick up a book and start reading and soon I find I become interested in the book and stop being bored.So whenever you feel lazy,uncreative and boring pick a book,turn the pages thru and explore the world of words,a new world filled with information and great thoughts that will lead you to achieve your goal.Well that sounds interesting nah?What are you waiting for?Go and grab a book.
