Here Is Why You Must Read Books
United States is probably the most powerful
empire the world has ever seen. Financial, it has the biggest economy in the
world, Militarily it has more than 600 military bases all around the world. Technologically, no one can can compete with
it. And yet when you join the Military academy,
the first thing you will ever be taught is a book thats written over 2500 years ago.
Why would the most powerful country in the
21st century that definitely has much more experience go back to the book that is so
old. Thats exactly what makes books so great. Humanity develops slowly and the most important
knowledge has always been written down and kept together in some sort of book so that
the next generation will be able to use that knowledge. In other words, books were the backstage of
human progress.
Fortunately that tradition is still going
on and most of the books are not simply information that are written down, but well organised,
deeply thought ideas written down in the most accurate way possible, thats exactly why internet
cant replace books. Videos and articles that you see on internet
are not targeted to help you but rather to entertain you to get your attention because
thats what generates income, which makes them very different from books. What people usually don't understand about
the books is that, especially self help books, you are not only given plain information but
rather ideas that are presented in such a beautiful way that you can apply them directly
into your life. Books are there to help you to deal with life's
most challenging problems, depression, sadness, relationships, business, you name it! People usually complain that, I wish if only
I had a mentor, if only warren buffet could teach me how to invest or Richard Branson
to teach me how start a new business.
I would have already become a billionaire,
but unfortunately i am not that lucky guy, I will never even have a chance to talk to
them. But what people don't understand is that,
almost every single successful person have spent days, if not months writing down their
secret to success - how they started, what did they do, what mistakes they have done
and what would they advise you. They didnt simply write them down, but rather
summarised them in the best way possible and its available for everyone. Book is probably the best investment you can
make, for just under 10 or 15 bucks you can learn the lessons that took him 50 years to
understand.
So instead of complaining that you cant
meet these successful people, why dont you read their books. And the best part of it is that, you can have
as many mentors as you want, even those who are not currently alive, but their books are
still there on the shelves. Of course not every single books great. In fact, from my experience i can tell you
that there are tons of books that are completely useless, they are written for reasons I still
dont understand, its just a waste of time.
Books can be categorised into 3 types,
Great books are the ones that are filled with wisdom and life changing ideas that will be
read by generations ahead of us like the art of war. Then there are good books that worth your
time but they are not as good as the great ones. Then of course there are a waste of time books. Thats why its extremely important to do some
research before you pick up a book to read.
I understand the frustration with reading,
its not always the most enjoyable thing to do and it can get extremely boring especially
when you are not use to read books, but as you read more and more, you turn it into a
habit and it will get much easier to read. But often we are too busy, even if you want
to read, you might not have the time. And the best solution to that are audiobooks. Its like a conversation you are having with
an extremely intelligent person, and you can listen to it whether in you are stuck in the
traffic, walking to your college or working out in the gym.
Of course reading is more beneficial because
you focus more and underline important parts but if you dont have the time for that,
at least start with the audiobooks. And now its your turn, what do you think? Whats your favourite book? Or which book had
the biggest impact on your life? Let me know in the comments below. And as always, hit that like button if you
