"Hobbies & pursuits"Part-VII Reading 

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies . . . The man who never reads lives only one.”

George R.R. Martin

The person who deserves most pity is a lonesome one on a rainy day who doesn’t know how to read.”

Benjamin Franklin 

Aren’t  these  and some  of  the  other  quotes  we  often  come  across   are  inspirational  enough  to  take  up a step forward  in to  embracing  and  end  up being  a   stickler  of  books and   just go  reading   and   reading   and  begin  an  unforgettable    journey like  multitudes  of  people  who in the  past  and  present   have  been  inspired  to  do  something  different  , shape  up societies expand  their  horizon  of  wisdom &  knowledge or  simply   decided   to  go on  escapades  to another new  worlds.   Past centuries have  witnessed  how  reading  has    helped  the  mankind  bring  about  sea  change  to  our  cultures,  and our way  of  thinking at large.

Belonging  to this  world  means  one  must  read if  one  has to  sustain and  survive  .How  so because  reading  is  akin to  air  we  breathe  . Without reading  perhaps or    be  left  without    books  to  read  we  might end  up  being  bunch  of  stupids  looking  for  answers  with  nowhere  to  go .    Today everything  appears  profound , notably transformed  because  mankind  cared  to  read  and  understand  and  distinguish  between  the  bizarre  and  strange  because  of  the  books  that helped .  Transpiring enough  knowledge  to  better  understand  leaves  the  reader  well  informed  of  all  things  past  and  present  . Books  indeed  are  a  blessing  and  reading  them  is  a  bliss  . Every book one reads leaves the individual gain knowledge.

“The man who does not read good books is no better than the man who can’t.”

Mark Twain 

Amongst  others  ,Reading  is  one  hobby  and  pursuit   that  stands out  because  it’s  so  magical  that  every time  a   book  is  touched or  picked up  to  be  read  the  words  written  within  rub-off  against  the  reader profiting  his  wisdom  and  knowledge   in  return .  It  is  difficult to  ascertain as  there  are  many   but  some  of  the  grandiose  benefits  it  delivers to  the  hobbyists are: 

Leaves you to be a Learned & Knowledgeable being: It helps expand  knowledge base and keeps the  reader  abreast  of  the  latest  in   present  affairs not  to  forget  that  there  is  heaps  of  knowledgeable  treasure  to  scoop  out   . Every  subject  offers  the  reader  with  knowledge  by  brushing  up  his/her  intellectual quotient . Varied  range  of  subjects  which  may  include  reading fiction, non-fiction, or even news articles, polishes   the  reader to be smarter  than  the rest  who  may be with  little  or  no  knowledge  or  simply  less  informed  and  not  conversant  with  the  subject  because  they  prefer  to be  either ignorant or  reading  knowledgeable  subjects  is not  in  their  stride  and  does not  evoke  any  interest

Be a wordsmith and a Linguistic Pro :Coining  words  phrases  sentences comes  easy when  you  read  articles  and varied  subjects  as  a daily   habit  making  it  a  hobby  or your  second nature  because  reading  greatly helps  improve  one’s  vocabulary and  language skills,  adding  endless bytes  of  knowledgeable  database within  one’s  own brain matter A  good reader  always  shines  out  amongst  a  horde  of   others  because  of  their  being  on  a  higher  tangent  owing  to  their  constant  reading  habits  enhancing  their  written  and  verbal   prowess .People  who  read  well  are  better  communicators and  can  ably convey  what  needs  said  or  spoken  without  causing confusion.

Mental Stimulant : Want  to  tickle  and  tease  your  brain  then  pick  up  a book  of  knowledge and  read  it   through   and  make  it  a  routine  and   do  so  every  other  day   and  find  how  your  brain  feels  stimulated  because  ultimately  you  will  end  up  talking  all  things  knowledgeable in  the  end .This  one  is  a  stimulator  of  brain for  sure keeping  brain  all  hooked  up  and wired  to  grid  of  intellectuality    preventing its cognitive declination . What  it  does  in  the  end  is  wonderful  when  it leaves  the  reader sharp in  mind  and better   focused   improving  concentration   enhancing  memorization  abilities . Regular reading does   enhance critical thinking and problem-solving abilities too and it’s so very true 

Stress cleaver : Wish  to  cleave  off  that  stressing  ghost  tailing  you  every  now  and  then  heed  me when  I  say  to start  your reading  journey  cause  that’s  a  great way to relax and unwind. It helps  bust  stress off with  ease   rather  cleave it  off  like  chunks  of  meat  sparing  you  off  any  anxiety  by  taking your mind off those  nagging  worries. Do find escapade in a good book  that   can provide ascension  to  another  world   from  the  haunting   reality you are  in  and have yourself offered a much-needed break  with  no pennies  to  lose

Empathy and Understandability: Fictional themes evoke empathy  allowing  the  reader  to feel  emotions  the  way  characters  are  cast  within  the  pages  of  those  books  even making the  reader   don  on  their  sheath of  skin  to  experience  their  ongoing  thoughts  and  hurdles  as  if  the  fiction  is  born  to  life . This garners  empathy and understanding towards others, making the reader   more humane  and  kind  to  others tribulations  and  struggles  leading  to  his/her  to  be  compassionate and open-minded.

Transformative  at  best  : It  leads  to  a  transformative experience  exposing  the  reader   to different perspectives, cultures, and life experiences. It broadens horizons and helps develop a better-rounded worldview. It aids in personal growth and self-reflection.

Entertainer & Escapist not only it provides entertainment and sense of   escapism. It allows to immerse oneself in captivating stories, exciting adventures, and intriguing mysteries. It can be a source of joy, entertainment, and relaxation

Catalyst  of Hyper Creativity and wild  Imagining : Your  imagination  takes  a  wild  leap  and  starts   galloping    like  wild  horses  when  you  began to read   day  in  and  night  out as  it acts  as  some  sort  of  stimulant  and   awakens  your  creative  side  to  its  maximum transporting  you  to  fantasical  realms  You  imagination  gives birth  to  characters  with  whom  you  can  converse  with  .It  knows  no  bounds  and  keeps  getting  fueled  the  more  you immerse  yourself  in  reading  varied  topics  of  interest the  more  of  the  characters  keep  surfing out  ; leaving  the  reader  inspired  and  letting  him  weave yarns  of  imagination  in   creating  sub scenes  sub  sets  of  the  same  topics  at  times  and  enjoying  the  same  to  the fullest as  if  it  were  a  theatre  he  created  and  he  is  the  audience  interacting  alongside .And  that  inspires  many  a  readers  to  evolve  in  to  story  tellers novelists or poets

So  there  it  is  for  us  to  see  how  reading   as a hobby and pursuit offers a  bag  full  of  goodies  benefiting  the reader in  acquiring   knowledge stimulating  his/her  mind cutting  on  stress , developing  his/her empathy and giving  room  for  personal growth. This activity   is fulfilling and enriching that promises to   enhance various aspects of your life.

What creased   my  mind  at  this  hour  of  blogging  is  that  I  was  kinda  trying  something  on  my  own  avoiding  any  labor  costs  and  saving  a  few  bucks  on   one  of  my  own DIY  project  .As it  turns  out  I  was  supposed  to   jot  down a  few  of  those  benefits this DIY  hobby  and  pursuit thing  has  to  offer . So  without  much  ado  look  out  for  my  upcoming blog  on  DIY  where  I  am  going  to  tell  you  all  about some of  the greaest benefits  one  can  derive  from  the   commonest  of  common  DIY projects  such as woodworking, knitting,tailoring, or home improvement, which  in   a way   impart  new skills and lets  the  doer   create something with their  own hands.

Though  it  may  sound  monotonous  but I  gotta  ask you  in  earnest before  I  wind  up with  this  to  embark  upon  my  another  blog whether  these little snippets on Hobbies & Pursuits are of   any  interest  as  a  whole or  in   parts . Do  let  me  know how  am I  faring   so  far . Nevertheless thanks greatly for your valuable time for stopping to browse by these blogs so until next time.
