How to develop a reading habit

Reading helps us to gain knowledge from variety of books. Unknowingly, it helps us to become a better human being.

What is stopping us ?

1. In our culture, we only indulge in reading exercise when murmuring curriculum books. Therefore, we perceives reading as an academic study only.
2. In our home, we rarely read books in our leisure time. Mostly, we rely upon the digital media content like Netflix to kill our time. Undoubtedly, motion pictures are more enjoyable than reading a hardcover book. So subconsciously reading becomes obsolete.

What is the solution ?

1. Start from a local comic like Marvels, picture or religious book that suits your taste. This will help to change our mindset that reading is dull in comparison to the digital media.

2. Now go to a local library and read something short i.e. outside of our core subjects or professional specialization like Computer Science. For instance, try reading an autobiography of your life hero like Mahatma Gandhi.

In short…

Reading is a very useful tool for our growth. However, our technological advancements and cultural behaviors has made reading more difficult. Still, we can make conscious minor changes in our personal and home environment to read more.

Without Reading, We are just a “Fish in a Pond”
