Am I right?
However, many of the teenagers when asked to develop a reading habit. They vouch for themselves by arguing their daily reading consists of text messages and news headlines. So if you are under the same circumstances, you are missing out too.
So how reading the stuff can actually be an investment?

We as chartered accountancy students spent almost 80% of our time reading syllabus and we read it again to revise. We read it again to retain. Only books can actually assist you to build concentration. You are reading a book, but it is allowing you to learn, to focus and to concentrate. Let’s talk about the material way books can help us! We as humans want to be acknowledged, recognized and praised. And now-a-days skills, content and creativity has taken a place way higher than a degree certificate.

Reading is like a sleeping pill, it is relaxing and sleep-inducing, especially if you are tired or stressed out. All the great leaders among Warren Buffet and Bill Gates have admitted that their successes are dedicated to their reading habits.
And the most relatable benefit is that even reading 10 pages a day is reading 3650 pages a year which averages to at least 5 novels. And you can be away from your electronic gadget for half an hour and be more productive.
Moreover, according to human psychology it is proven that books are actual friends for human beings. They aren’t the friends with benefits but the friends which benefit you a lot. In the era of investing, many of the youngsters want to earn the title of stock market enthusiast.
