Why is it important for you to read?
Just knowing the titles or checking off your social media read list is not enough... Research shows that reading stimulates your brain and therefore it facilitates your thinking process. You are unconsciously exercising your brain cells when you add up to your general knowledge, which can be very impressive by the way. The way people look at you nowadays is the way that your "mind" is shaped and not your looks nor the car that you drive or the house that you own. Find something that you like to do today and pursue that; life is too short to waste by thinking and not taking on actions. Step by step, reading is going to lead you to your journey towards other countries and soon you will find yourself attracted to different cultures of the world, Dr. Seuss knows better.
Love this! Thought I'd add to it.....
ReplyDeleteJamie Raskin warned against ambition getting in the way of your intellectual growth: "Ambition is the death of thought," as Wittgenstein said. A number of my friends are as ambitious as I am, but they suppress any thoughts that might be subversive or dangerous to their ambitious. Your intellectual life is really the ability to see how things can be different, and big institutions in society, whether public or private, often ask people to toe the line in any number of ways -- personal, political, ideological.
Thank you so much dear for sharing it away and the support! I absolutely love it and must say I can relate to it... Sometimes our choices take us to places far away from our friends and social zone; but hey if you know that you are doing something good and are determined towards it, then nothing shall keep you away. It's people like you that keep me going and motivated, so keep it up.
