Reading does not need a comfortable desk
Hot 3 |
Yesterday was the World Book Day which I did not know before till I found many news and articles shared about this advocation of this activity. Since we seldom read and much of time is taken either from work or daily trifles. We may find it hard to do some physical exercises and not mention to read a book. But it fact, we can do physical exercises and reading at the same time which won't cost much of time if we can arrange the timetable well enough. Everyday, little by little, soon we see a big difference that we make.
Usually we assume that something must be prepared well so that we can do something we want. Such as I need a comfortable seat so that I can sit well, a smart and functional desk so that I can read and surf the internet. But it turns out that there is no such a perfection that we can own something as what we want. While we can change and adapt ourselves to new circumstance. If there is no such an ideal playground, we can choose to go somewhere nearby to do exercisese. If we do not have that kind of nice desk to read, we can just sit in a libraray or a tea house to read for a while.
As for reading, it becomes the luxurious enjoyment for most of us. We like going somewhere else with friends for a party or going down to street for a popular movie in a cinema. While we seldom see some people reading. Every time when I am on the bus or the metro, nine out of ten of those passengers are holding smartphones.
As the advent of high tech, we have many channels to read eiither from the comptuer, pad or just a paper made book. That is convenient to read online and it saves much time and we do not need to bring thick books and carry them elsewhere, particularly in a long distance. It also does work when we are home to read a book by holding one to read in slience and patience. Very comfortable to read, espeically in night before going to to bed, which is the effecitive moment to see and understand stories and knowledge. Of course, those bookworms view books as their life and read them at any time as long as they are available doing that.
A friend who runs books printing and selling, while he actully does nothing about book reading ever since he started his business after graduation. He said it is a pity, and he focuses on the money making. Though he makes business with books, he has not read a single page among those books. Several other friends said they bought some books years ago, while they still stay intact with dusty covers.
On weekends or every night, sit aside to find a corner where simply can place a seat with mild light to read. Never ask too much about what exactly we can gain from books. Day after day, we see marvelous change that we my even don't believe we made that. At least, it cools mind off and let you peaceful when you read. It shall happen at any time not just on the special moment.

- Hi, Teadrinking:
It seems we have too many indulgences in this modern society, so we all forget reading including me until recently I discovered that’s one of my hobbies.
We should put reading as challenge as what Mark Zuckerberg( facebook) said: “My challenge for 2015 is to read a new book every other week. I am excited for my reading challenge. I've found reading books very intellectually fulfilling. Books allow you to fully explore a topic and immerse yourself in a deeper way than most media today. I'm looking forward to shifting more of my media diet towards reading books.” Just imagine how busy he is, he still put reading on the priority list.
Everyone can find time doing things, it really depends on what you put onto your number one list.
To be honest, reading is essential, without reading, I would not think about studying abroad, I would not find someone who encouraged me, inspired me until I achieved what I loved.
Therefore, no matter how busy we are, we do need put 1 hour or so per day in reading as it will open our mind, it will make us different from others.

- Perhaps I am a bit demanding. I have to be comfortable and relaxed when I read and the place has to be quiet. We have beautiful gardens near our home and I love to read under the shade of trees. I don't fancy those electronic books and prefer traditional books. No matter how busy we are, we should set aside some time for reading, exercise and leisure activities.

- Yes, you have done well by reading and studying hard. This habit makes you success by living in Australia, a foreign land where you almost have no connection and relatives there.

Most of us say that they have no time to read, while they have much time fooling around and going for some forums and groups which are not so important for the purpose of making a big fotune or meet some great people. Actually, action is the best effective method to achieve greatness and arrive at the destination.
Without hard work, we almost can have nothing rewarded. I think your English would be much better by writing and reading. Someday you can even write a book on your own. Then I would be your honest reader.

- Sometimes we do not have much time, so we can resort to those electronic books to read. While I'd prefer to read books in hand, which let me feel more cozy by sitting alone. No matter how busy we are, we really should squeeae out some time to read and study.

- If we can arrange our time, and make it ordered, we find no problem to read, do physical exercisese, and take other social activities.

Everyday, I just spend about thirty mintues to read, like several chapters and then I can finish that book in weeks. Of course, this case happen at my working days, since I can not spare much more time doing that. If I am on weekend, I can read more efficiently and have a book read in few days.
Almost everyday I spend one hour doing physical exercises,including, running or jogging around and some others, such as arms and legs stretching .
Then I spend little time being here to write something about what I think over, meet, or hear. There is no shortage of topics to write and share. The more , the better. I feel now I write better by persistence.
So you can also do it.
