1. Enhanced your Smarts, which can be used to increase your Finances
Reading helps in almost every area of smarts. Those that read have higher GPA's, higher intelligence, and general knowledge than those that don't. Reading, in general, makes you smarter, and it keeps you sharp as you age.
No matter what you want to do or become, you can't do it without more knowledge. Reading has the ability to get you where you want to go as well as grow your income.
2. Reading reduces stress
When reading a book, your mind shifts gears. Where you might have had a stressful day, a book can easily distract you. Fiction is fantastic for this. Reading an awesome fiction book is perfect right before bed time, although sometimes it's hard to put the book down if it's really good. Still, you'll be relaxed :-)
3. Greater tranquility
Reading can soothe like no other. Given that you might be a pretty high-energy driven person, reading forces you to sit, focus and be still. This daily act of making yourself be quiet and still is nothing short of miraculous cure for the "fidgety factor".
4. Improved analytical thinking
That's right; your analytical thinking is boosted by reading. Readers improve their general knowledge, and more importantly are able to spot patterns quicker. If you can spot patterns quicker, your analytical skills receive a boost.
5. Increased vocabulary
It's no secret that reading increases your vocabulary and improves your spelling, but did you know that reading increases your vocabulary more than talking or direct teaching? Reading forces us to look at words that we might not have seen or heard recently. Increased vocabulary is especially crucial for bloggers or writers. All successful writers will tell you that in order to write well, you need to read every day. You'll be surprised at the words you start incorporating into your writing and speaking.
(A beefier vocabulary isn't just for writers though. Knowing what other people are saying and using the perfect words to convey your feelings is a critical part of being a better human. Better listeners are more successful in life.)
No time? No money?
If you think that you don't have enough time to start reading you're wrong. Why? We make time for the things that are important to us. How much TV do you watch? How much time do you spend surfing the web? You could easily replace reading with those activities. If you're worried about the cost of books, we'll come down to the Rail Road Book Depot (650 Railroad Ave., Pittsburg, CA- In the Heart of Old Town Pittsburg)
Where our motto is:
MAKING READING AFFORDABLE TO ALL
Now you see, there's really no excuse to start reading on a regular basis.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Railroad Book Depot...
