Hello everyone, I'm a university student in 200lvl elect engineering, and I have recently decided to read 8 hours everyday for the rest of my life (I started 2 weeks ago, and I've been doing just fine, albeit some days I feel tentative to read when I ask myself "What do I have to gain from this"

I combine both school work (5 hours) and general knowledge (like reading self-help books, books on historical and monumental events like the Renaissance period e.t.c for the remaining 3 hours).

I've thought on reducing this to 3 hours daily for all my readings, perhaps.

Am I missing out on anything in life? Or on the right path?

reading is goo d but you go tire one day, talking from experience.�

The question is what do you stand to gain from reading 8hrs everyday? Are you trying to learn a skill or you just want to be knowledgeable? If your intention is to have a skill that will ultimately enrich you then you’re on the right part but if it’s for knowledge sake you’re probably wasting your time. Besides reading isn’t the only way to gain knowledge, you can watch YouTube videos and practise whatever you want to learn. Don’t just gain knowledge for knowledge sake, you’ll die frustrated. Money moves the world.

someone you don't know, how will you tell if him or her go tire. Bros you can be reading daily if you like it,but that 8 hours is too much, because soon you may not think like normal human being anymore.

ISISs:

Then I strongly endorse it, buh bro, reduce it to at most 4hours everyday.

Isis, do you think that 8hrs is too much for guys studying medicine and surgery.. If yes, what do u think is the ideal amount of time.. All things kept constant

oghenerobo91:
I wrote ICAN last year.
Was reading more than 10hours daily. The problem now is that I think something is wrong with me upstairs cos I have to read something more than once to even remember it

temmypotter:


10 what? how can you focus and actively read for the entire 10hours?

In comparison with other assessment tests, just how difficult is this Ican?

Even GMAT recommends 80hours before taking the test, ideally 10hours per week for 8 weeks.
ICAN is difficult and not for average students.
I think I read too much, and u know, too much of everything is bad

pls do and let us know the outcome. I think this is a very good case study for research. You final outcome will give us enough data to understand if 8 hrs a day can increase and improve the brain capacity within a stipulated amount of time. according to psychologist, reading or learning constantly expand the brain.
Psychologist in the house, this is a good research theme.

Durentt:
I started two weeks earlier and I feel as though the entire world's knowledge is in my head, figuratively. My spellings, vocabulary, and writing skills have improved remarkably. I now spell 'repetition' not 'repitition', 'Enmity' not 'Enemity', 'generosity' not 'generousity', necessary' not 'neccessary', 'messenger' not 'messanger'.

I also notice I find seclusion in reading, the world is stressful, why not read it away?

The only downsides? Really sore eyes at the end of the day. They are hollow, literally and metaphorically.

ISISs:

I don't think there should be a fixed hour or time for anyone to read. It should depend on the persons ability and the duration to which he/she understands till he gets saturated.. (By saturation, I mean when he/she gets tired)

But in medicine and it's art, it is advisable u read everyday, AT LEAST two hours.

Electricboy:



pls let's do it together...I just sent you a mail...am a fresher in another branch of engineering..reading is bae.
