On reading

Reading is not most often we do here in our country. Because reading requires exercise of will power, it soon fatigues us. There are some who read well and read without tiring. But for them we can say that they read only what they can read. There are many levels of reading. Reading for information, reading for meaning and reading for understanding.

Some acquire the habit through their regularity, some work towards it. Most good reader belong to former, because it takes a lot of time working your way through reading. It becomes an easy read when the thing we read is at the same level as the thing we think. Most readers don't like working on their reading skills. There are innumerable reading material now a days. Internet has made reading and mis-reading both famous. The only thing we need to take care is that we are reading the right material. It is always better to choose things that are easy or just about difficult to read, so that your reading style remains firmly ingrained. Sometimes it is better to test yourself reading a harder material so that we don't stay in the same level. This challenges your reading skills.

The more reading we do the better we become at it. This is true for any skill.
