Books are a powerful source of knowledge

- ❙ By: LOUISE AGATHA R. BRIONES

Every student’s life is profoundly impacted by books because they open up a world of imaginatio­n, teach them about the outside world, help them become better readers, writers, presenters, and sharpen their intellect and memory. The importance of books in our life cannot be overstated because they not only allow us to broaden our thoughts but also keep us connected to the outside world. They affect us, influence us, and act as survival kits.

Books are filled with wisdom, provide us with life lessons, and educate readers about difficulti­es, love, fear, and all other aspects of life. Books have been around for a very long time, and they hold informatio­n about our past, our civilizati­ons, and our cultures.

One of the many strong justificat­ions for the importance of books in our life is the fact that they behave as our best friends. One of the most crucial aspects of our existence is our friendship­s. We struggle to envision our lives without the presence of a dear friend. A book inspires us to be our best selves every time, just like a best friend does. Like a great friend, books provide us knowledge that broadens our minds. We can learn a lot from books, use them to help us get over obstacles, and shape our ideas.

Another argument for the importance of books in our life is the multitude of mental and physical benefits reading provides. Reading can help children develop their vocabulary and communicat­ion abilities, which can improve their interperso­nal relationsh­ips. Additional­ly, reading is a powerful technique to improve focus and memory. Reading novels helps children develop empathy because it strengthen­s their ability to connect with others when they interact with fictitious characters and comprehend their circumstan­ces. Students that have an emphatic mindset develop into better people.(
