You Are What You Read

Reading is the way we learn about a lot of things, from knowledge to the experiences of others. So for one to gain more knowledge and experience, one of such ways would be to read. Well, you actually can learn the knowledge and experience without having to read, but that would mean that you would have to create the knowledge yourself and to experience all the situations yourself. But well, that is highly unlikely.

So, therefore, one of the ways we can seek to create a better version of ourselves is in reading. How long has it been since you decided to read a book? Reading is a part of life and something that should become almost as important as eating or sleeping.

By reading, you are able to live the lives of a lot of people through the experiences and knowledge they share from what they write. Reading about knowledge other people have sort out to find is another way you become more knowledgeable. In a world where we want to get the information as soon as possible, we decide to go for the summarized versions and simply hope to gain all the information from the summary.

I am not saying that reading summary is bad, I am simply advocating that if you want the full knowledge, then you must follow the hard way, the only way. Read the whole book and get to learn more.

As the world continues to grow, people can only grow if they have a certain value to add to life, but some of these values are written deep down in books. Values we might not find unless we take time out to read more.

Reading comes in a lot of ways, but I would greatly advise you pick a book and try to gain the knowledge and idea involved in the book. It matters that you do because the wealth of knowledge in such books can only be explored when you read.

Beyond reading, you would also need to create and document your own experience. What best way then is available if not writing about it? And the best way to create the best experience is if you have read books others have written about their own experiences.

It matters that you read every day. The world needs more people to read. That is what was said to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) “Read in the name of your Lord” and I say the same to you today READ.

Thanks and God bless.
