Please read, all the way till I finish.please

Hello fastlaners.. I think reading is the ultimate tool we can have.

The first 300+ page book that I have ever read was Mj;'s fastlane book.

I felt intriugued, never thinking I would completely read a 300 page book in my life.
So I ordered a book called the Idiots guide to becoming rich(yea i know)
and have read other books as well.

Now I notice that I have a slightly better memory or maybe it is just the pscyhology that reading makes you smarter.

But anyways I googled up the benefits of reading and came across this
---enhanced smarts
---reading reduces stress
---improved analytical thinking
---increased vocabulary
---improved memory
---helps prioritize goals

Now what tool can offer a benefits such as this.

And for those who dont like reading, just try reading a book about something that you are interested. Because I sure as hell am interested about learning to how manage money the right way.

I believe reading can be the ultimate tool and can be used for something in your area that you want to know more in depth about.

Example; a person wanting to lose weight can be told what exercises to do and what to eat. But if this person got a good book on weight loss and read the whole thing. He can probably gain enough knowledge and possibly know more than his counterparts just from a simple book that he read. This person could probably know about how metabolism affects losing weight while his friends who dont read just know what ab routines will give you ripped abs. Reading can give you the extra edge.

Now imagine what can happen if you read a book about something you wanted to know about and apply it to your life................

It's very cool that you found your reading niche. Now, go back in time and tell your younger you the value of reading. :)

I would have to say that I wish I had some better teachers in my school days that taught us that. We were "Forced" to read. I HATED to read. Read this. Read that. Write a report on both. Get good grades on it. Take this test.... blah blah. Fiction bored the crap out of me and wasted my time. I wanted to read how to books and they always said "NO!" "That's not in the curriculum." So I grew up knowing the value of reading (from my parents) but learned (or decided at a young age) to hate it.

I will agree with you on that. I am a science teacher during the day. I have repeatedly asked for the kids to be allowed to read what interests them. The powers that be do not agree.

That's too bad, because it's necessary to a degree. I didn't even learn how to read until I found something worth reading. I'm sure I would have learned how to read 'reasonably well' by grade... Oh. Five, if I never ran into anything I wanted to read. But I would have turned into another one of those people who can't receive a whole paragraph without saying "omg thats 2 much 2 read"...

It's a frightening thought to be the kind of person who can't stand to read 30 words, but they're plentiful. I would bet most of them are like that because reading is a chore.

Now I just wish that list of benefits applied to me. ;p
