Your father was right, knowledge should be drawn from reliable sources. But the main thing is that in our time - it is not necessary to get knowledge from books, now knowledge can be obtained from the Internet. I'm sure we'll see the times when the book will become something rarity.
Good words that our life is writing down a book, we make our own life. If you want to make your life sad - so it will be. If fun, you are the creator of your destiny.
Sometimes life is still linked with a blank sheet ... They say that you can see the sheet - but you can not change the emphasis by which you wrote it.
Thank you, as always deep thoughts
