What is life too short for?

Spending time in damaging relationships — whether its parents, partner or friends, put yourself first.
Trying to please everyone — by doing meaningless favors, making decisions based on other’s opinion, etc.
Pursuing a career that you don’t care about — to make your parents happy or to fit into society.
Procrastination — waiting for the day when you will finally start crushing your goals.
Avoiding pain — not taking risks, staying in your comfort zone, not working enough, etc.
Unconsciously watching Tv, movies, social media — trying to escape the reality of your life.
Never growing as a person, realizing your potential — just being okay with a mediocre you.
You wouldn’t give away your money for free, then why do you give away your time — giving it away to people you don’t like.
Working a 9–5 job that you hate but never making efforts to get out of it.
Above all, not pursuing true joy and fulfillment — instead, settling for an okay life.

The nature of books has evolved. Society and technology have changed. Forcibly, our approach to reading has taken on new forms to accommodate a different way of life. The question is: For better or worse? Although books give us new ideas, spark discussions, and explore topics in detail, the same information can be delivered in a variety of formats. When it comes to exactly how we should absorbing books, the debate rages on. Let’s take a look.

A bit of simple advice that works for any age. Copy what millionaires do. I’ve studied over 40 millionaires and finally found out their secret to wealth. It took me a long time to piece together the puzzle, but I’ve finally figured it out. Here’s the golden question: What do Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban, and Tonny Robbins have in common? Besides the mulah...they all read . Yep - reading.

You know, whenever anybody asks Elon how he learned to build rockets, he says, 'I read books.' Well, it's true. [...

There Are Two Ways to Read — One Is Useless

Reading is telepathy, and a book is the most powerful technology invented. Homer, Shakespeare, Voltaire, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Woolf, Hemingway — these are names without a living body. We can’t talk to them, nor touch them, but their thoughts are immortalized through the written word. Aristotle’s logic, Kepler’s astronomy, Newton’s physics, Darwin’s biology, Wittgenstein's philosophy — these are memes without living originators. They no longer champion their ideas, and yet, we still talk about them. Without books, humans would never have escaped the boundaries of space and time. Each new generation would have had to learn the realities of life for themselves rather having the luxury to build on the past; knowledge accumulation would have quickly dimmed towards an asymptote. Everything that we value in the modern world has its root in invention of writing. Everything that we have accomplished has come from reading. Even on an individual level, one of the most effective way...
