READ MINIMUM 2 BOOKS A MONTH

Of all the skills one ever learn while growing up, none are more important than the ability to read. Each book that we read is an opportunity to learn something new. Reading is one of the best forms of self-education for adults too. While it can be easy to watch a YouTube video or listen to a podcast, reading still takes the cake when it comes to comprehension and increasing one’s knowledge.

The benefits of reading can be-

• 1. Increase Vocabulary- Reading an hour a day will expose one to four million words per year.

• 2. Improves Concentration- Reading takes time, patience, and concentration. Basically, reading forces one to use your brain, when we read, we need to “reason things out which are unfamiliar.”
