A person who won't read, has no advantage over one who cant.

MARK TWAIN

I'm constantly surprised - I shouldn't be by now though, but when I meet someone for the first time and I start talking about my love for books and film, I've been proudly told in many instances that they don't have time to read. And I just can't help myself as I lose an iota of respect for them. I'm not saying that you need to share the love I have for a particular kind of fiction or get excited about my non-fiction interests but I have to question wether you are fully engaged in living without the benefit of books, How do you examine the world around you from the perspective of others? How do you vicariously experience travel and adventure without taking part in it yourself? How do you move towards your goals and become a better version of yourself in the process?
For us in the West we don't appreciate enough the blessings of being able to read - there are millions who can't, but it forms the bedrock of who we can become.
Don't deny yourself greatness.

Anton Marks

Peace, love and power
