Why reading is important!

Reading is important, we have heard about this million times, but why?

         If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Issac Newton

Human has long history of development, many things we experience, we have done in life have been done by someone, somewhere, and may already be noted.

         Human being have the ability to learn and understand without having experience.

Reading is like travelling, a journey to one stranger’s mind, where you learn to understand, to empathy with the author. With the help of your own experience, imagination, and logical thinking, the gap between author and reader maybe overcome, thus, helping readers gaining invaluable knowledge.

Reading is enlightening. Your action, your life is the reflection of what you believe in, and by reading, we enlarge our own mind, our own world, it gives us motivation and feeling of believing, thus, pushes us out of our boundary,  urges us to experience what we haven’t known.

In the end, I believe enhancing our reading experience is one of the basic but most important step for human evolution.
