READING CULTURE
READING CULTURE
In the past
The most valued gift students preferred
Is the portable printed work comprising of pages
And consisting of organised knowledge called ‘Book’
Students prefer books to any other gifts
In that they knew the importance of knowledge
As the cornerstone of human accomplishments in life
They took reading seriously
Reading is something that deserves attention
For it’s a beneficial activity
Knowledge turns darkness to illumination
In those days, students travelled far
To obtain information materials
Many of which are now readily available on the internet and software
They devoted more time to gaining knowledge
Of academic subjects and other human fields
In a serene environment
Free of any distractions
They burnt candles at night to prepare well for school exams
Books develop human thoughts
They provide useful facts
And hold invaluable information, ideas and messages
Than any other materials on earth
Book exposes man to modernity
They are like everlasting records for coming generations
The more you read and re-read
The more your mind broadens
And enables you understand different concepts
Reading enhances the brain connectivity
It improves your comprehension and vocabularies
Reduces blood pressure and heart rate
Makes sleep easier
Improves memory
Many of the dullards and slow-learners
Do not take reading seriously
They’re not familiar with the contents of their books
This is why they couldn’t comprehend and assimilate easily
Reading enhances imagination and creativity
It allows you understand the world
From different perspectives
Above all, if you perform outstandingly
After proper reading
The knowledge gathered in books
Can catapult someone to great success and glory
Reading can uplift you to the climax
You can also become a pragmatic leader
In any field you’re
Anyone who passes through the school system
Without devoting their time to result-oriented studying
While in school, graduates
As an incompetent certificate holder
And they hardly contribute
To the growth of any organisations
They found themselves
How can they?
When the backbone of their certificate
Has gone missing
