SECRETS OF READING 6 BOOKS | Bill Gates | Zig Ziglar | Mark Zuckerberg | Oprah Winfrey | Warren Buffet | MOTIVATIONAL

Read Books

"I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense"

Reading is good, it makes you smarter, everyone knows it, right? No, not everyone. It just happened that ‘most people’ are wrong again.

Research shows that for anyone to write a "good book" He/She must have read three (3) books about a particular topic/subject before writing; to gain ideas or get in to the minds of three witters. So the logic here is if you read six (6) books on a specific title, you are to be rated as one of the best in the world. Because the math shows you have read eighteen (18) books: 3x6=18books  ideas of eighteen men/women on a specific issue.

People tend to simplify things, and there is a sound reason for that — it is much easier to live if everything around you is categorised and labelled. This is good. This is healthy.www.pirevolution.blogspot.com

"If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads"

–Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is black. This is white.
However, the world is rarely a place where everything can be categorised. The same with reading — the process itself is nothing more than a way of consuming information. Listening, for example, is another one, and no one would say that ‘listening is good on its own, it makes you smarter’. Everything is about which type of information you consume through listening. Or through reading.

" Consistency is power"

Read a book every week

Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy. The more knowledge you have, the better-equipped you are to tackle any challenge you’ll ever face.

Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought: should you ever find yourself in dire circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your health—knowledge can never be taken from you.

Thank you.
