Why You Must be a READER!
There is no any wise man or woman who is not a voracious reader of books.
I once saw a very beautiful young lady. I was so attracted that I scheduled a date with her. When we got talking, the strong attraction I felt began to dwindle.
This is because her words and ideas were so shallow and superficial that I thought her beauty is in sharp contrast to her level of knowledge and wisdom.
The babe has nothing constructively intelligent to offer; her only selling point is her hot body, curves and hot legs. Don't just be beautiful in body, be beautiful in your brain also.
I tried to help her fine-tune her knowledge by offering to buy some books for her and send her few useful articles but her response was shocking..
"I don't like reading books or articles, I prefer watching movies so I will rather watch the contents of the book in a movie"
That was when I knew she couldn't be helped if she doesn't like reading. No wonder she was so shallow and ordinary in the discussion.
Off course, that was the last date.
No one who read can ever be a fool or remain ignorant in any area of life. Books expose us to the knowledge of other wise people and equip us to contribute constructively in all areas of life.
Most of our problems are due to our ignorance in certain areas of life but the knowledge we need is wrapped up in a book somewhere.
The more books you read, the more answers you have to life's challenges.
If your partner or spouse is a reader, then a large percentage of marital problems will be solved with little effort.
Read today and lead tomorrow..
