"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.
