HARDDON:
Luckily, I gained this insight a long time ago while I was in High School. And boy! How grateful I am!

I'm not an English master, so I cannot teach you.... The only thing I can do for you, is recommend good books that have helped me in this reading journey. Hopefully, after today, someone's academic and general reading life would spiral to the high heavens.

The list of book, in that particular order, I would recommend are:

1. How to read better and faster by Norman Lewis
2. How to study by Ron Fry
3. How to develop a perfect memory by Dominic O'Brien
4. Power up your mind by Bill Lucas
5. Power of your Subconscious mind by Joseph Morphy

Start with the first one, make sure you take all the activities. You would be glad you did! Call it my Sunday blessing to you!






Wise readers read with these three core goals : blazing reading speed, assimilation and retention

Why waste 3hours, with scraggy assimilation, on a book you can use 30mins to cover and understand even better?

READING IS SO MUCH FUN WHEN YOU READ THE RIGHT WAY

I stumbled on this by chance. Thank you for the book list. I just downloaded all 5 books now. I've always wanted to increase my reading speed so as to devour more books in real time. I'm a poor reader, though has inordinate fancy for book and knowledge. Thanks.

HARDDON:
An awesome Sunday to all you!

This was first posted on my Dating Drills' thread (https://www.nairaland.com/2893475/dating-drills-guys-only/207#71255541 ) as a privileged info to those who follow me therein but staying true to my life's goal of moulding minds , empowering lives and bringing glory to God therewith, I decided to create a special thread for it here.

Hopefully, this would distroy the faulty foundation we had about books, inculcate the culture of books into all minds, librates you all from the African mentality of not appreciating the beauty of books and open your minds' eyes to the power/fun/wealth/wisdom and eternal grace books bring.

For he is immortal that ravel in the aura of books.... Don.


We would discuss
1. The benefits of Books
2. Unravel why Africans don't like books
3. And then recommend some timeless books that can make reading fun, remove the laborious airs associated with books , improve your reading , assimilation and retention speed thereby making you well rounded and grounded

READING IS REALLY FUN!

BENEFITS OF READING

1. It makes you stand out in your chosen field or in life generally. You become an authority/consultant in your world. Men seek to hear you speak like Solomon, wisdom drips off your lips as hearts get elated, minds challenged and lifted, life impacted and destinies remolded

2. You Become creative with mountain of ideas to draw from as John C. Maxwell, in How successful people think, puts it.
creativity is nothing but the aggregation of knowledge that helps you postulate a new wine or improve on an existing one( Don)

3. Reading keeps you young because it exercises the mind.
To grow muscles, we hit the gym but to grow our mental muscles, we must read books! As you read, you feed the mind which in turn keeps you young.

He is old, no matter how young, that takes no pleasure in the blessed worlds of books ( Don)

4. Books help you to proffer solutions to the numerous challenges of life as they pop up. Knowledge does not exist in space. Even science fiction draws inspiration from reality. And what was science fiction yesterday, quickly transforms into reality today! To think outside the box, you must know what the box contains first. The only way to do that? Well you already know.

5. It makes you a Leader. A leader is not one that ocupies an office, a leader is one who has answers to the WHY Question while every other person is battling with the HOW question.
Readers are Leaders in all sphere of human endeavours.
They are able to see into the future and guide men into it gallantly. They are always one step ahead of the game.

6. Books are the best ways to tap into and rob minds with men you might never meet. Understand their ways and sharpen your blades.


7. They make an author out of you whether you were born for it or not. Blessed with a sonorous gift of the gab, you can't but dazzled in glitz and glamour.

8. Excel in life: you tend to Ace all the lil huddles education throws your way.

9. Win friends, influence people and have a very Broad picture of the world.

10. You become transgenerational like Daniel in the Bible that served in 4 regimes.. " I Daniel understood by the books... "

These are the core benefits of books.

If you are not Italian you are abusing the word DON

Op thanks.
This is really eye opening
You just inspired me to keep striking hard and harder.

Life isn't about getting and having, it is about giving and being ______Kelvin Kruse


You don't become rich by taking but by giving ______David Ibiyeomie

this is one secret of the rich( set up foundations to touch humanity and give to charity) and value books( knowledge and new innovative/creative information)

but the poor mind, that don't know the secret to wealth keeps going around begging, seeking from whom they might collect and not having regards for knowledge.

Jesus, in Luke 4:18 said; The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has annoited me to PREACH the Gospel to the POOR, he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captive, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised .

from the above verse, what the poor really needs is quality information that can help him come out of poverty, not arms. So go for knowledge at all cost and by all means.




The only proof of love is giving. For God so LOVED the world, he GAVE his ONLY (most precious) begotten Son Jesus.

_____David Ibiyeomie
