When I was child, I did not talk much. It was not that I did not like people but I simply could not give response as quick as other children. That was really frustrating as others thought me dumb. After I learnt reading, I found myself a totally new world. Books were amazing things to me at that time because I do not have to be quick in understanding while reading them. I could go through it in my own pace and did not have to worry that what was written in the books would leave me behind. As a child I surely could not read more complicated things than stories, but the habit of reading helped me a lot in studying, as even my families were surprised to know that the previously dumbest kid always had the highest scores in school. I feel lucky that I developed a habit of reading early in my life and it helped me a lot during my school years as well as working years. Many people may not have had such a habit for some reasons, but it's never too late to develop one.







To develop a good reading habit, you have to get through things step by step. Unlike a kid who is curious about anything new, adults usually do not have enough curiosity to get interested in a new book quick and long. It's always good to start reading from reading picture-surrounded texts. With elaboration of pictures, it would be easier to understand the content of a book. Whether the content is to our interest or not, you can judge it quicker from the pictures embedded in it. Once you get used to reading and fall in love with it, you will feel like reading more to fulfill your curiosity and know more about what you are interested in.

It's also important to start reading habit by start reading things of your interest. Some people think that reading is boring and tiring simply because they have no interest in the reading matter they refer to. I believe everyone has some interests and there must be some thing they like reading. People who think reading of no fun just do not feel like finding out what they want to read. Once they find what they like reading, they will read as much as possible to gain information on their interests. Such impulse is also the reason for some people to be like experts on certain field even thought they are actually not.

A good reading habit needs to be maintained. It does not take much. All you need to do is to spend half to one hour each day on reading something, either a book or a series of essays. It may take a couple of weeks to make it a habit, and once you find the fun in reading, you will enjoy more of it. Compared to playing video games and watching TV or movies, reading costs much fewer efforts and is more helpful in relaxing yourself. Why not try to read something now? You will be overpaid with a lot of benefits.
