Reading with passion can be a motivator in life.
It is crucial to know your purpose in reading as it helps you focus your attention on important aspects of the reading material. Before turning those pages, take a moment first to reflect and clarify what your goal really is.
By Steven and Myco Kiganda.
The ability to read is a powerful tool, but a passion for reading is an even more powerful quality. We develop our passion for reading at the earliest of ages. When we are young children, our parents or the adults in our lives read to us.
From our past experiences, you realize that the literature you heard, rather than read, as a child resonates again and again in your memory whenever you sit down to write. It’s the sounds you remember rather than the sight of the words. Of course, silent reading also fills our storehouses, but it is an immediate treat to be read aloud to, especially when the reader reads in a lively manner, enthusiastically, using his or her voice expressively to paint vivid pictures in our imagination.
As we advance through school, reading becomes a requirement with rules and restrictions. These restrictions were not present in our early childhood when the passion first sprouted in our minds. And unfortunately, it is not until adulthood when a lucky few can finally break free and enjoy reading again but now aiming at becoming superlearners since passion will be playing its part.
It might come as a surprise, but in today's fast-paced, information-driven society, the only skill that really matters is the ability to learn quickly and effectively.
Well, simply put, because if you can learn quickly, you can achieve pretty much anything you set your mind to. From getting that promotion you've been eyeing, to picking up a new language or excelling on that job interview you prepared for... Even improving your social and leadership skills! It all starts with that passion or ego that drives your motives to be a better figure in your life journeys.
How many times have you promised yourself to read more but just never found enough time? If only you could do it quickly and more efficiently it will later seem interesting and exciting to give you morale and rythm to continue reading even more.
