Reading is Good!

I started my daily grind to a nice surprise. I saw a few people around reading either novels or magazines! U may think what's so surprising about people reading their own materials.

Now, over the past many many months, i noticed many people are spending their commute time/journey playing portable game set i.e. PSP, Nintendo DS etc. And i am really surprised at the sight. Everywhere i turned to in the train, there will bound to be 1 person playing the portable game set.

So i thought to myself "What do these people learn from these games?" I understand its great to have some form of entertainment. But my amusement came from the fact that fewer and fewer people are reading these days. I do no mean reading of newspaper per se. Reading should include all forms including novels and magazines.

I don't know about others, but i love to read and i always encourage people to read. Reading is first and foremost an important source of knowledge. Reading trains you to have a personified opinion and judgement. Seriously, if you have no opinion in life, u are no better than a corpse. :)

I am very blessed to have read many interesting books/articles in my life. I especially enjoyed those books which are selected up for Putlizer awards.

So my dear friends, pick up a book/magazine today and indulge yourself in a world with no boundaries!
