We've been repeatedly told that readers are leaders. Also, that he who doesn't read has a very little advantage over the one that cannot read. To read is to learn and grow. We won't stay long enough to experience all life has to offer. We need to read to learn from the lessons and experiences of others.

It's very saddening that in this age, despite the overwhelming abundance of information, a lot of us don't really study.

All the information we need to succeed in life has been written. Be it on money, marriage, health, business, family, success itself, religion. Name it. It's been written.

I'm currently reading THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED, By Scott Peck. It's being an awesome read. The author talked on pleasure, suffering, discipline, delayed gratification, child training and religion.

I'll talk briefly on self gratification. It's the ability to forego today's even legitimate pleasure for tomorrow's gain. Without it, wealth, health and joy will elude the individual. No one can truly succeed without this vital ingredient of life. To delay gratification is to prioritise. To delay gratification is to always look at the bigger picture.

The future is hardly far away. It comes pretty quiver than we can imagine. Time hasn't waited for anyone. If we must live a happier tomorrow, we must be mature and brave enough to delay gratification. I'll encourage as many as possible to get a copy of this great book and travel in the mind of the author.

So, let's see which book you're currently reading. Any book. And don't forget to drop a line or two from it. Thanks.

Lalasticlala and Ishilove, please let's do justice to this thread. Readers are leaders.

In His Presence by E.W. Kenyon and my bible...

It is all about building faith through knowledge of the word of God, and confession of the word as well as eschewing sin consciousness...

I'm yet to read that book though I bought the same day as NEW CREATION REALITIES and others. It's indeed a very good one. In fact, I dropped my religiosity after reading Kenyon's books.

Can you share a thought with us? Thanks bro.

Well,its actually a guide for teachers....

'Teaching is a process that requires patience from both the teacher and the learner. It is an on going activity that aims,primarily at helping somebody to learn'.

Do teaching and learning mean the same thing? Why is education referred to as ONGOING?

Oga no wash me abeg. It was clearly the deep romantic love between King Solomon and the Shunamite woman. Jesus was nowhere to be found as at then.

Whether positive or negative? If one isn't aware of the existence of this law, does it still applies to them? Must you consciously recognise this law for it to work?

Will you believe if I tell you that my search for knowledge led me to a Theological school in 2012? Many even thought I will graduate to be a Cleric. grin

To some, their certificates have become their reasons not to read any longer. Success can be a hindrance sometimes.

Oftentimes once people land that dream join they've always desired, they stop reading. They stop improving. They stop learning. They stop growing. Reading must become a habit.

Your company actually pays for the information you have. Experience is information acquired over a very long period of time.

Whether you are aware of this law or not it applies. It works unconsciously that's why we are advice to guide our thoughts.
