KARACHI:
Reading culture is eradicating drastically from our society. Even when we study for exams, we find shortcuts such as listening to a few minutes’ lecture on YouTube instead of learning it from an authentic and reliable source, like some book.
There are so many unbelievable advantages of reading. Many people think that reading is a good source of enhancing vocabulary and knowledge but it is much more than that. The advantages of reading are life-changing. Making a habit of reading sharpens your memory, improves your focus and makes you a critic. It changes your thinking perspective and makes you different from others. In fact, you can never be a good writer if you’re not a reader, as reading is the ultimate solution to good writing skills.
When they say “readers are the leaders”, they actually mean it. There are various examples of living legends including Elon Musk and Bill Gates, known for their remarkable inventions and ideas. When they are asked how they did it, they reply, by reading books.
Our youth will have to understand the value of reading if they want a future bright. They will have to prioritise reading books instead of following YouTube and other social media platforms.
