Knowledge is Power; Why You Should Dedicate Time to Reading Every Day...
Greetings, fellow Steemians!
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Says Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. For if there can only be one pursuit in life that can be deemed worthwhile, it is the greatest of them all; the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.
The utilization of the blessings that this world has to offer directly correlates with one’s general knowledge of the rules that govern the universe and how each and every thread connects to the great complicated web of existence.
Living a life in this world is a perplexed maze of opportunities and potentials.
Successful people in life are those who know the underlying schematic of this complex maze. Opportunities are not inherently programmed into this creation. People make their own opportunities, and in order to do that, one must be well aware of the potential that this infinite web of being has to offer.
Simply put, the more you know, the better you will perform in every aspect of life. Knowledge is the pinnacle of the human endeavor to improve and open the gates of salvation and tranquility to life on a large scale.
Reading books is the standard practice for gaining knowledge and wisdom. Books may have once been an important part of many cultures from around the globe, but with the advent of internet and its growth into popularity, we could argue that reading is not a widespread practice or even a pastime any more.
Our cultural inclination towards instant gratification and pleasure has left a terrible wound on the face of education and general wisdom of the young generation. Unlike many modern indulgences of technology that add nothing to your value as a human being, reading has proven to be an astonishingly rewarding practice.
Apart from knowledge and wisdoms, the practice of reading books can be beneficial to you on several levels of consciousness and subconsciousness. I am going to explain some of these benefits in the next section of this blog post.
One of the first and foremost benefits of reading is the mental stimulation that comes with it. Just like the rest of the organs and muscles in our body, our brain needs practice and care to stay in good health and shape. Reading can easily take care of that and even stimulate your brain wires to the point of increasing intelligence and creativity.
Eloquence is another one of the perks of reading as a daily practice. When you are constantly reading, the domain of your vocabulary expands and you will speak with more dignity and decorum. As a result, the world around you will take you more seriously. The difference between the speech of an educated man and an uneducated one is more transparent than the difference of night and day.
Books are worlds within words. When you open a book to read, fiction or nonfiction, that book will take you out of the real world and put you in an imaginary world full of new wonders to discover.
People have used books as a form of escapism for as long as anyone can remember, and it is also worth mentioning that through this escapist nature of this phenomenon, you will feel less stressed if you bring this practice and habit to your daily routine, specially if you are struggling with social anxiety and all the other troubles that come with it.
But gaining knowledge, or reading books, much like anything else in our daily routine, is a habit that needs practice and consistency. If you truly believe in the value of improving your knowledge and wisdom, and want to implement this particularly beneficial habit in your life, you need to practice it slowly and with consistency.
It can be wearisome and difficult at first, but what habit isn’t? You can try to look at it not necessarily as a practice of self-improvement, but as an activity that can bring you much joy and delight in the long-term.
A BIG HUG! ============================ Important Note! I have been working very hard on this blog since the beginning.

Resteem... ***Remember Community: Please, if you commented and upvote on a new post I did, please always go back to the previous one because if someone in the community commented lastly because of time zone differences it will be without your upvote and that would not be fair.

And if you are not on this list, please, after making your comment, write in that comment: Include my profile in the list, because I do or want to be part of all this with all of you! But I ask that if you are new around here you read many of the previous posts because they make it clear that we are building a community with respect among all, generosity and this blog is for those who really want to start moving their Mindset to positive and moreover be part of the growth of all of us who contribute to this blog.

Remember the rules. First leave your comment meaningful and then leave your message that you want to be included in this comment. Everyone is welcome and I hope this list grows exponentially because this will be a reflection of everyone's growth. I really do not want to be able to update the list of so many people that can be included in it. Let's go together towards the 50+ upvotes to recognize the efforts of those who dedicate their time so that we can become stronger and leave a legacy of growth in our lives and in the lives of others! ABOUT OUR LIST!!! WE NEED GROW THIS LIST! LET'S GO TOGETHER IN THIS COMMUNITY - RESTEEM!

Great and important post!
If I may add, reading also develops the emotional intelligence and it is very important practice that helps you understand the emotional aspect of situations in life too.
When it comes to reading topics that I like, I love reading and not stopping ... I love learning new things and reading is the best way, and as you mention it, reading nourishes vocabulary, is one of the best techniques to enrich your vocabulary, so reading daily is a benefit for the human being.
One of the things that I love is reading, my favorite book is the bible, because I believe that it contains all the wisdom and divine revelation, it is like a guide for our daily life, the one with the information has the power , every day should be an opportunity to enrich our knowledge, there are many books that help us to acculturate ourselves in diverse subjects. Also, others that teach us of the experiences of others, says the biblical that the wise man sees the evil and moves away, but the fool says he needs to learn from his own mistakes. In many ways and in many ways, knowledge is a powerful tool, so much that thanks to information, empires have been conquered, dictators have been overthrown, dreams have been crystallized and broken. hearts; Information applied as knowledge can be the most powerful weapon ever created by human beings.
These are some of the benefits of reading:
Increase your vocabulary
It's a good workout for the brain.
You create healthy sleep patterns.
You decrease the risk of Alzheimer's.
Increase the capacity for concentration and attention.
Improve memory.
Reduce stress
The bible is our life manual !!! There we can find all the knowledge to which God refers so that his people do not perish ...
Great post friend
In the time we invest in acquiring knowledge, we always have the benefit in the future.
Continuing when you start reading can be cumbersome, but do not keep away. The continuation of the movement will one day bring you to the point where you will experience deeper thinking in your knowledge... Thank you friend @chbartist

I´m so agree with you. I used to love reading a lot, but when I started at the university I left my hobbie aside a little bit, so I took a reading challenge this year and I´ve been enjoying it so much that I´m going to continue with this for a long time. I´m looking for websites where I can find good books, let me know if you have one. =)
Upvoted! ; D
O conhecimento é o que nos resta depois de esquecermos do que fomos aprendendo ao longo do tempo. É o saldo da experiência de vida e do nosso enriquecimento pessoal. Nessa medida, subscrevo totalmente a sua afirmação " A leitura de livros é a prática padrão para obter conhecimento e sabedoria".
Quanto aos livros, são de facto verdadeiras viagens de escapismo e relaxamento, mas parece-me que, no que diz respeito à recolha de informação e aprendizagem, são já ultrapassados por outros suportes como a internet ou a TV, o que também nos leva a refletir sobre o efeito aqui apontado, da propensão para a gratificação instantânea, em detrimento de efeitos mais duradouros e consistentes.
Obrigada por um bela reflexão.
well, knowledge is truly a resplendent partner in our lives....and of course, what better way to attain it than reading those beautiful books.....but to me, not just knowledge but also experience matters....you know knowledge is like fragments of a puzzle.. and experience is actually the one which assists you to realize how to joint those little fragments & thus solve that puzzle......I hope I helped you understand the fact....and have a beautiful day...love from @muhtasim-zawad

I love reading especially the book that transformed my life - The Living Word which is my weapon and armor, and my daily bread.

@chbartist sir!
Anyone who has the power of knowledge can control himself or even in the extreme circumstances. Man is considered to be the most intelligent creature of the earth due to his knowledge. Because only a knowledgeable person can distinguish good from evil. The process of transferring knowledge from one generation to the next generation through various means has been going on. Due to knowledge, we have made our existence in the world and are utilizing the properties given by nature in good ways. Knowledge possesses the ability to win with all the physical powers. Knowledge can be earned only and divided by doubling it gets back.
