A book is a living voice; in it is the treasured knowledge of the human race. Buildings crumble to ruins, generations come and go, but books survive; they are as fresh as the day they were written. They introduce us to the world of reality with the best of humanity and take us into the amazing presence of the greatest minds that have ever existed. In this masterpiece, we hear what they said, how they lived, what they did, and their experiences enrich our lives. Truly, books make the man.
For more than twenty years, I have lived on earth to testify that the great minds of men and women do not die when they are enshrined in a set of printed pages that are held together in a cover so that other people can turn them over and read them. Books are great voices that we must listen to. When we find ourselves in trouble and adversity, we must turn to the great sages who incarnated in books for instructions, encouragement, advice, and solutions. Invest in books.
Ignorance and mediocrity will get further away from us as we read literature on life issues and apply the truth we gleaned from them in our daily lives. In books, we learn by the recorded life of others because they influence our lives, give us directions, light our way, encourage our intuition, pave the way for us, illuminate places, hone our personality, inspire hope in our hearts, and They set before us good examples. They illuminate our intelligence.
It is not safe to live your life in this day and age without reading good books. A good book is one of the greatest helps in life. They help us a lot to gain ideas, knowledge and information that, when used correctly, benefit humanity. Reading a book that enriches life is the cheapest and most rewarding entertainment and advice one can find because through reading and study one accumulates the experience, knowledge, intelligence and wisdom of other people who have spent a lot of money and a lifetime to acquire.
From the pages of a wondrous masterpiece, we tap into the genius of the successful, the philosophies and timeless truth of the rich, and gain wisdom for a higher life. No pleasure lasts as long as reading good books. Sex, luxuries, cars, buildings, or exotic wine can never equate to the advantage one gets from a good book. Broaden your horizon.
A life-enriching book like ‘Overcoming Life’s Challenges’ is a tool you need to educate yourself, overcome difficulties, be an overcomer, and succeed in the race of life. The greatest doers in the world have been men and women who gave themselves to read, study and write books. Good books are real. They contain the words of life. They tell the truth and hide nothing. Reading provides mental bread for our imaginations to chew on and feed on. We discover that we have wings when we open books and greet the genius within us. Don’t read books that won’t positively impact you, and remember that it is your thinking and understanding that makes your own reading.
Book learning is wonderful and saves you time, so it’s a good idea to join a reading group or book club. Today, books come in different formats: audio book, ebook, hardcover, and paperback. Maximize these avenues and make yourself better. Good books make a good life; progress is nothing more than the accumulation of the power of books. If there are no good books, the world would perish. If you have no friendship with books, you will live a half life. Learn to read, love, live and write good books.
