Books.... Read One Today

I bet you wondering what I have to say about books aside the regular read books, well it cannot be overemphasized I think. As simple as books sound, this topic is relatively wide as it cuts across a lot of explanations. Would it surprise you if I say books are man’s best friend if we keep company with them. This is because:
• You don’t have to get worried about your privacy violation neither does it demand anything from you.
• They are immovable without your consent and are always available where you need them.
• They are human dependent because we create books out of our words and this words result out of our thoughts, intelligent quotients and our researches.

A great man once said “if you want to hide something from a black man put it in books”. So many of us are very familiar with a lot of quotes and write up that denotes the usefulness of books. We hear readers are leaders and we just quote them but how many times have we thought of making it our lifestyle.
Some of us say; it is not my hobby, that guy or that girl is just naturally good with it. Well let me shock you, you can actually be better if you put your time into it.it could be some peoples hobby but it should be everybody’s desire and ability to sit down and read. Only through that can you be exposed, experienced, develop ideas, learn new things and travel around the world without physically being there.
GIVING AN EXCUSE TO NOT READING A BOOK IS LIKE A WIFE SAYING SHE CANNOT COOK FOR HER HUSBAND BECAUSE IT’S NOT HER HOBBY OR SHES NOT NATURALLY GOOD AT IT.
It’s her responsibility to do so and she must learn just as it’s your responsibility to read books.
I know some of us might be wondering how do I even start or so many people have gone far. What do I do now?
Here’s a little hint: its takes discipline and determination to do this reading thing. Trust me if you’ve not been doing this before, you’re going to really suck at this and you would always get tired or sleep on any book you pick up to read. But the only thing that can keep you going is your determination to work on yourself.
This quote “a determined man is never a failure”, kept me going and was my favourite quote while growing up though I’m still growing. You can buy into the quote and can help yourselves with alarms or sticky notes for a reminder that I must read a book a day.it does not necessarily mean you must finish a book a day, at least two pages a day for a start can help.
Let me leave you with this-

NO MAN CAN BE CALLED FRIENDLESS WHO HAS GOD AND THE COMPANIONSHIP OF GOOD BOOKS- Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
