“Teach him the wonders of books but give him time to ponder the eternal mysteries of birds in the sky , bees in the sun and flower on the green hillside”
-Abraham Lincoln
Life is a school from which only the wise learn invaluable lessons.
There is a wealth of knowledge gained from the books we read. From a perspective, every book you read is meant to arouse something in you, it can inspire you to greater heights, it can prepare your mind for greater tasks ahead of you. You have a wealth of knowledge or capability in you waiting to exhale, waiting for your command. A command which is activated by your work in the vineyard of your career. A career developed by reading.
Great minds were great readers, Thomas Jefferson at a point in his life read for close to 15 hours daily.
In death bed of Theodore Roosevelt, a book was found, a book he read every night before going to sleep.
Reading brings out the real you, it refines your mind, it prepares you for tumoro.
Leaders are readers, some readers are writers other readers live an exemplary lifestyle for many to follow.
Some leaders I know say they read a book a week, no matter how small the book is, that’s a good reading plan, you can adopt this schedule or you can design your own, the important thing is that you read and read again.
