THE POWER OF READING WILL COMPLETE THE MEANING OF LIFE

When I was small, I was more interested in picture books, because at that age a child relates to the pictures more than words. When we enter our youth, we try to read books which we can directly relate to incidents in our life. Reading leads to increasing our knowledge as well as it enhances ones vocabulary.

If we start reading good books at a very early age, it develops our ability to think and reason. So if you’re reading a good novel which shares the author’s experience­s in life and how an author tackles that particular situation, it will help you take some good decisions in life. A good book brings a lot of positive energy. We can read and reread it till the message in it is etched in our mind. That positive energy will help us also radiate it to people around us.

The most beautiful thing about reading is that the informatio­n we gather is never wasted. It stays on with us forever, and the lessons we learn will come handy when in a difficult situation.

Books are like true friends who always show the right way. The biography of a sportspers­on is filled with motivation and ambition, a book on spirituali­ty will enhance the soul, academic books are meant to educate us and an autobiogra­phy teaches us life lessons.

Every book has a special purpose and is different in its impact on us. So to live life to its fullest, keep reading.
