The key to a better life for young people in the world is read books that will practically change the way they think.

Reading helps your mind. once your mind is stretched by a thought it never regains its original dimensions. when young people are exposed to books that teach them how to lead better lives, they will become better people. Books transformed my life as a growing child. we must make our kids start reading again. not just school books but books that talk about life and how to deal with challenges.

    Let them see what real people have to deal with. Let them wonder about real life and real decisions.
    But it need not be all in books. Lead a life that makes room for the young and the old together.

    Jan 27 2013: Ever since my parents have been giving me pocket money as a teen, books are like an addiction for me. I started by buying one per month (aside reading the ones on my Dad's library) and ever since I started earning money I buy three in a month.

    A good book is like a gold mine. Readers are hardly petty or materialistic. Pettiness and obesession with material possessions are the two chief problems of the world. But this is understandable because most of the world do not read.
    How fortunate are the few who have found this treasure.
