Cultivating The Habit Of Reading by saintfrancis1(m): 2:42pm On Dec 21, 2015 |
I am Francis Adeboye, I believe dz short piece of mine is able 2 encourage u 2 develop a good reading habit ! How many of us took note of DAT immortal phrase which concluded d Gettysburg's address? Abraham Lincoln said and I quote,"...and that GOVT OF D PEOPLE ,BY D PEOPLE AND 4 D PEOPLE shall not perish from d earth ". It is commonly used and supposed DAT Lincoln originated DAT immortal phrase,but did he dz phrase has marked d beginning 4 d definition of democracy,but I will reveal somtinz 2 u in d subsequent paragraphs wat d lucid truth is. Herndon, Abraham Lincoln law partner had given Lincoln a copy of Theodore Parker's addresses.Lincoln read nd underscored in dz book d words:" democracy is d direct self-govt;OVER ALL D PEOPLE ,BY ALL D PEOPLE AND 4 ALL D PEOPLE". It should b noted DAT theodore parker may have borrowed his phraseology 4rm Webster.who had said ,in his famous reply 2 hayne;"d people's govt,MADE 4 D PEOPLE,MADE BY D PEOPLE AND ANSWERABLE 2 D PEOPLE " Webster may have borrowed his phraseology 4rm president James Monroe ,who had given voice 2 d same idea a third of a century earlier. And 2 whom was James Monroe indebted Five hundred years b4 Monroe was born,wyclif had said,-in d preface 2 d translation of d scriptures DAT "dz bible is 4 D GOVT OF D PEOPLE,BY D PEOPLE ,AND 4 D PEOPLE". And long b4 wycliff lived ,more dan 400 years b4 d birth of Christ,Cleon ,in an address 2 d men of Athens ,spoke of a rule "OF D PEOPLE ,BY D PEOPLE AND 4 D PEOPLE ". And 4rm wat ancient source did Cleon drew his inspiration is a matter last in d fog and night of antiquity. How little there is DAT is new !!! Books!!!! There is d secret! Many of dz people highlighted earlier cud have read articles of d previous writers. Besides read so DAT u re knowledgeable, u have 2 read so DAT u can improve ur dictions! Aren't u tired of using d same grammar every tym?? If u fink u wanna do so, d 1st step is make a mind set DAT u re going 2 start reading 2ndly,u make at least 1hr available 4 reading Also,if u need help, u get som1 DAT wud help u remember ur diction after u av shortlisted dem nd looked up dere meaning in d dictionary! Finally,u start using dem in essays nd articles! Watz d essence of having d knowledge about somfin wen d knowledge CNT b put 2 use!!! I conclude with d words of abdulkalam ,he said," learning gives creativity ,creativity leads 2 finking ,finking provides knowledge and knowledge makes u great! Read a lot and make researches ,it helps! Read a book 2day! #francis takes a bow ©mr. Franc. 1 Like |
