About This Quote

People often say they wish they had more time to read. This is because reading gives you a chance to learn more than you would otherwise. Oftentimes, we learn by sheer trial and error or by asking other people. This is not the most efficient method possible.

With the amount of time we all have, we should be reading as much as we can if we want to be informed and educated. Just like you cannot learn everything from books alone, you cannot learn everything from looking at things either. Reading will give you understanding that will make your life better in every way.
