Let me confess that I was a mediocre student until my matriculation.
I wanted to change that.
I no longer wanted to be taken lightly by others.
I had nothing interesting to talk about and no stories to share — except that my father was in prison for 6 years when I was a kid.
I was desperate for a life-changing transformation.
I began exploring the things that would be most important for me in life. And I believe same things can be valuable to most people.
So, what are those things that can make a difference?
I found that if I develop the following traits, I would transform my life. And I’ll become an interesting person.
I need to improve my communication skills
I need to improve my writing skills
I need to gain knowledge so I always have something to talk about
I need to understand how people around me behave ( human behaviour )
I need to learn how to persuade people
I need to learn how to negotiate
I need to develop critical thinking skills and become better at building arguments
I need to have peace of mind
I started searching for an activity that could give me all of these essential skills for life.
This is when I discovered the beautiful world of BOOKS 📚
Books hold invaluable knowledge and wisdom. If you can develop just one habit of reading books, you will transform your life.
Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary. – Jim R
There are a few other habits as well that you will discover after you start reading books.
You will develop the habit of writing. Writing makes your thinking clear.
Books might also introduce you to the world of meditation and other techniques to calm your mind. A calm mind is a must-have in this messy world.
Just build the reading habit and watch as it transforms your life.
You will never regret it.
The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries. – René Descartes
