Welcome to 1 Minute Tips! Reading is good! We grew up hearing people say it. I used to hate reading – whenever I had to read a book for school I cringed. But why? Why reading was such a heavy chore to me? Well, today I know. The reason was simple. The books sucked! They were great books, don’t get me wrong. But they were not for children. Not if you want them to create the habit of reading anyway. Today I’ve fallen in love with reading. I discovered the pleasures of reading and of learning. If you’re not a reader, you really should start it sooner than later. Experiment with different genres. One cool trick I do to consume more books is to always read at least two books at once. Usually one is an audiobook, the other a kindle. One is fiction and the other non-fiction. This works well for me. But it isn’t a rule set in stone, I mix it up from time to time. Find what you enjoy reading, and read lots of it. I’m Rod Gomes and I’ll come back with another 1 minute tip soon. Take care, stay active, stay positive!
