It is often said that books are always a good friends and reading is an active
mental process. Unlike TV, books make you use your brain. By reading, you think more and
become smarter. Reading improves concentration and focus. Reading books takes brain power. It
requires you to focus on what you are reading for long periods. Unlike magazines, Internet posts
or E-mails that might contain small pieces of information. Books tell the whole story. Since you
must concentrate in order to read, you will get better at concentration. Many studies show if you
do not use your memory, you lose it. Reading helps you stretch your memory muscles. Reading
requires remembering details, facts and figures and in literature, plot lines, themes and
characters.
Reading is a good way to improve your vocabulary. Do you remember that when
you were at elementary school you learned how to infer the meaning of one word by reading the
context of the other words in the sentence? While reading books, especially challenging ones,
you will find yourself exposed to many new words.
Reading is a fundamental skill builder. Every good course has a matching book to
go with it. Why? Because books help clarify difficult subjects. Books provide information that
goes deeper than just classroom discussions. By reading more books, you become better
informed and more of an expert on the topics you read about. This expertise translates into
higher self-esteem. Since you are so well-read, people look to you for answers. Your feelings
about yourself can only get better.
Books give you knowledge of other cultures and places. The more information
you have got, the richer your knowledge is. Books can expand your horizons by letting you see
what other cities and countries have to offer before you visit them.
