THE IMPORTANCE OF BOOKS IN LIFE

Books. Books are very important in our life. Since early childhood the books we read become a part of our identity. It is amazing that most of the things we think or believe in are more than once stated in books that we have been reading. We may not believe this, but it is true. Our beliefs, principles, thoughts are more or less part of the books that we have read. So naturally, books are very essential in a growing child´s life. But not the text books. Very few children read their text books before the chapters are taught in schools. Moreover they read it to mug up, not to extract philosophy.
I know this certainly sounds illogical that a five year old kid might extract philosophy from a book. But it is a fact that all they read and all they understand and learn from the books get stored in their subconscious minds. Eventually as they grow up they may forget the story but they would never forget the extract that they recieved from the book because it has been used as the foundation of their mental set up.
There is another important reason for reading books. To enhance imagination in the kids. Not just to fantasize about fairy tales and Harry Potter and other fictions of the same kind but to set the goal that a person needs to move on. When we see someone and say we want to be like them, we end up imagining ourselves in that place.
Personality and imagination. The two essential attributes of a person are acquired by reading books. Hence books make our lives. So it is really necessary that every individual is encouraged to read books. Books help individuals grow up to be not only an academically brilliant person but also as a person with imagination and insight. That eventually will eventually help our country to emerge in a much improved state. We are the future of the society and it is our duty to work for ourselves, for our society as well as for our country.
