“Our lives are the sum of the people we meet and the books we read.” – Kong Hee

Read Dy’s post today on the books he’s reading. Since our mind is being renewed everyday by the imputs we give it, we must be careful what goes through our friends’ minds.

I remember saying/hearing something to the effect of reading being a grossly under-rated habit in one of my conversations with Shan.
Attended a speed-reading course so that I can pick up things from good books faster and more effective.

When you read good books, the knowledge you gain can influence others around you. Imagine the synergies when your closest friends read high quality content.
There will be depth in conversations, great vibes and strengthening of vocabulary when you meet and talk about what’s on your hands recently.

Reading together

A good time of fellowship would have included contents from about 10 different books each time we meet. Or lessons learnt, insights gained. Friends seeve out the essence of the book or summarise them and you leverage on it.

I read about 2-3 books at anyone time. Of varying subjects and depth. The current one for visits to the loo is “14 Principles on How to Make a Difference by Gary Colins” ($2 or 3 for $5 @ Bras Basah) – easy reading and a book on dating (intermediate) while doing my shift for IMF. It’s simply therapeutic. Especially during term time.

BUT. Sometimes reading gets in the way of my studies. Which can be quite dangerous. lol.

My God is so big,
So strong and so mighty
There’s nothing my God cannot do
For You!
