Some people take reading as a mere hobby; others consider it a pastime while most read because people have to read.

Well, reading has several benefits and young minds should make it a habit to read; something we should do without thinking twice, something we need to cultivate. 

It is so much  better for each of us to make reading a habit a very enjoyable and happy habit of seeing growth in it.  It removes cobwebs from our minds, dissolves ignorance that seem too often to show in important situations and yet we know ignorance is no defense.  Quoting the German post Goethe, “There are two souls in my own breast, and one is determined to beat down the other. “ We need to throw some weight to the one with the halo  Read!

The words cram, crash and quick are familiar to us, to a point of destruction.  We lag behind too far because of lack of reading and try to make up for it in speed.

Someone made the rush statement that we have to walk something like thirty miles in order to lose one pound of weight, but they overlooked the common sense of walking a much shorter distance consistently, which would prevent another pound and still give tone and colour to the mind and body.  It is not what we do suddenly that makes the difference but what we do persistently no matter what the goal is.
It could easily be the same old story of the tortoise and the hare.  When we make reading a habit, we keep plugging and eventually make it to our goal,  rather than running all over in fits and starts.  

Everything becomes more beautiful and meaningful because we can actually read more.  Our sight is so  often like our thoughts  shallow and without colour / light.  We see only superficially, understanding  only the easily apparent and obvious.  We often think the same way barely scratching the surface of our minds, hardly troubling ourselves to really comprehend and read deeply; but we can do it when we: 

    Look beyond today into tomorrow.
    Think beyond mere appearances.
    Read with a goal; to see shades and tones .
    Write in depth and three dimensional.
    Speak in clearly defined well articulated words.
    Communicate easily and smoothly.

Friends; make reading a cheerful habit not a weary, constant complain.
