To read is to lead.A great leader is a great reader
Reading is the first revelation descended upon the Prophet Muhammad. However, reading has become No.1 issue among Malaysian students, reflecting their low interest on reading. I, by my own capacity, urge for transformation. We need motivation and I thought, by certain factors, we have a lot of things to motivate us. Our family, our society, our lecturer and professors, all these figures do cast something on you, I called it as influence. Their presence forces us to excel, we are the hope of our parent and maybe to some extent, for a particular person, he is carrying the hope of society. To put it easy, we must read.
But how?
Yeah, that’s a good question. Reading is not like breathing or walking which people used to do it as a part of living, but reading? What’s so big about reading? Will I die if I’m not reading? All sorts of questions crossed our mind, just to deny the big message of reading.
Okay my brothers, let’s begin with some easy steps.
First, learn to feel happy when you see book
You don’t need to read, don’t need pick up one book and carry it, or even touch it. What you need is the feeling of joyfulness when you’re seeing book.
Second, please bring your book along, to wherever you go.
Either you read it up, or not, it doesn’t matter at all. Most importantly you must forge the bond between you and book, not necessarily your own book, it can be your friend’s book.
Third, appreciate your curiosity
Promote yourself to read the summary of the book, usually at the back cover. Very simple way, at least, by always carrying it before, it may stimulate an urge to know what you’re carrying actually. So, my simple step to know roughly the contents, just read the summary or some comments, that’s the easiest way to actually appreciate your curiosity, it cost you nothing, and of course, no harm of trying.
Forth, befriend with good reader
To have a good friend is one the greatest blessing, but to have a good friend who also a good reader is a great summation. Yeah, you will live in a different environment when you make friend with people who loves reading, who immerses his life in the ocean of knowledge. By time, you may feel the enthusiasm and this will be the factor to push you up.
Fifth, pray to Allah
This step is not necessarily the fifth one, it could be the first one. Pray to all, and it’s better if you can specify your prayer.
Finally,
The most important thing after you acquire the enthusiasm of reading, train yourself to share your acquisition, what you did get from reading, please pass the idea to others. Besides, you can write it down in term of sharing it in your FB post or blog.
Thank you, just my 0.5 cents.
