How to get the most from your books (part 1)
By Reynor Buenaflor --> trulyrichreynor.bookwormonline@blogger.com
Hello there.
Life is understood better when we look at it backward.
I was contemplating and trying to figure out things myself how my journey to blogging world began.
What rush into my mind in a split of a second are the following body of thoughts:
….. stages. growth. journey. process.
Indeed, where I am now did not happen in an instant. It never accidentally happen. Day in and day out was the evolution of this journey and I am here to share with you some insights that I have realized along my journey.
Believe it or not there are STAGES in the life of a book lover !!!!
Getting to Know Stage:
This is our first encounter with books. The first aha. The first time when we say, now I know... books are indeed good.
This is the time when our hunger for knowledge or hunger for some wholesome fun and entertainment, hunger for information is satisfied.
Hmmm. This is the stage where we begin to "fall in love" with books (weird... don't have the right term for that) for different reasons we can ever think of... We begin to love books for fun, for knowledge or wisdom, for the joy of being considered as learned or geek (some people love to be called as one), for an effective "don’t-bother-me" thing to do when we are seated in the plane and we want to have our precious space (this works for some but not all the time especially if someone at your side is as persistent as the best salesman. hahaha).
This is the time when we make a decision that whatever happens... whether the sun won't shine... we will make reading the book a part of our everyday routine (just make sure you have some lights turned on).
How do you know if you are in this stage?
When you rather read than go shopping... rather read than watch movie... rather read than eat (I love food, this never happened to me)….or rather read than ______ (kindly fill in the blank with whatever usual activity of people around you).
... More to come (to be continued)
