5 things I have learned from reading books

Everyone should know this but they don't

If you are not reading physical books please don’t read this I don’t want to waste my writing.

All jokes aside let’s dive in.

Books contain a lifetime of knowledge.

In 300 pages you can know what took someone a lifetime of work and dedication to put together. How can you not read? When I go into business with someone the first thing I notice is if they read or not. In the first 10 seconds, you can tell if someone reads or not and the only time it might be acceptable to not read is if you have a lifetime’s worth of experience to go off and that takes a lifetime to achieve so it’s fair to say you should read.

If you are going to read buy physical copies.

Libraries are the best way to meet people.

Although this isn’t reading this is where you meet smart people. This could be a place to meet your future wife or husband or it could be the place where you find your new friend group or your business partner. Libraries are not just about the books they have it’s also about the people inside them.

Libraries are where millionaires go for fun.

It’s not about how many books you read it’s about how many great books you reread.

I would rather reread a book ten times than read 50 different average books. Conversely, you should ask people how many books they reread and what books they are this will give you an insight into who they really are. Anyone can read but a person who rereads will always win the battle of life.

The more times you reread a book the better the book becomes.

You may only take away one thing from a book.

Frankly, most books you will read won’t change your life. If you can take away one thing from a book that is more than enough and this also links into my earlier point the more you reread a great book the more that point will be instilled into your head alongside more points.

It only takes one idea to change your life.

Thanks for reading.
