Hello friends!
What’s up?
In the age of YouTube, Netflix,
social media or PUBg, should we leave the evergreen method of learning and
entertainment behind?
As today is 23 April/world book
day, the below question wanders through my mind.
Why to read?...
Nowadays, we’ve got so many sources
of entertainment/infotainment!
Then, why to read at all?
Because…
Reading forces our brain to
think.
From the passive, effortless
mode of consumption,
Reading takes us on an active,
creative ride of imagination!
By stating this, am I against
the above said and other sources?
Absolutely not!
I myself make use of
YouTube/social media.
But reading? It’s a completely different experience.
When we read, we get to
experience the lives of others,
Can know and avoid the mistakes
people have made in the past or simply be happy!
In my experience, I have
discovered that
Reading makes a person more
empathetic,
More knowledgeable and above
all, a global, open-minded human.
Along with this, research has
found that Reading improves our overall wellbeing!
By the way,
Game of thrones, the super hit
Television series,
Has also taken birth from a
book!
Now, is reading interesting?
If you aren’t already, reading
can make anyone go crazy about exploration and traveling!
With my utmost gratitude to the smart
technology in our times, there are other ways of reading apart from a printed
book! For example. Nowadays we have audio books, E-books,
The Kindle or just our
Smartphones!
But, but, I don’t have time!
This is one of the most common
reasons.
Friends, you know what,
If you’ve time for
Facebook/Insta feeding, then you definitely have time for some light Reading.
See you soon!
