Read. Everything you can get your hands on. Read until words become your friends. Them when you need to find one, they will jump into your mind, waving their hands for you to pick them. And you can select whichever you like, just like a captain choosing a stickball team. Karen Witemeyer
About This Quote

As a child, we are encouraged to read as much as possible. Reading can be a form of escape, and it can provide us with new information and skills. However, as we mature, we may find ourselves less interested in learning. It can be difficult to motivate yourself to read when you don’t feel like it.

This quote captures the idea that reading makes us more confident. When we are able to read, we are able to pick the right words to fit the situation. This is something that will come in handy when you are in conflict with someone else.
