Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

About This Quote

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. It is a form of mental exercise that challenges our thoughts and takes us on a journey of discovery. We can learn more about ourselves, how we fit into the world, and how we view the world through reading. Nowadays people hardly read books and magazines for fun and learn more about themselves and the world by watching TV and reading news.

Some people think that reading is very boring while others find it boring because there are no ads while some people find it boring because they only read novels and not some other book. In my opinion I think that reading is amazing because it helps you with your mind and develops your brain thinking in a different way. You can learn a lot from reading books but sometimes you have to read some good books to get good ideas from them.
