Read every day and learn from what you read.

Octavia E. Butler
About This Quote

Reading is good for our mind, body, emotions and soul. Reading is an important part of our daily lives, which is why it should be read every day. There are various ways to read, but the best way is to read slowly and with concentration so that you can absorb everything that you have learned. After reading a book, it’s important to reflect on the things you have learned and write down your thoughts and opinions. You can do this by answering questions such as: What did this book teach me? What did I like about this book? Or what did I not like about this book?
