1. Today afternoon, after I finished my lunch in my hostel. I started to read a book about online writing. I kinda enjoyed the content . This book some incredible information about the world of blogging. But my friends saw me reading a book and said what’s point of reading this thing. You are only 19 years old why are you acting like a 24 year old and I said that I am enjoying reading books.

  2. It was not common in our college to read fiction and non fiction books as an hobby. But my cousins has a lot of books for me to read. So i had an opportunity to read books. Many of them don’t have that. So they will not bother reading. And also it was not a entertaining thing in a certain way like we have to set our mind to read and really focus on the story or plot. Instead of mindlessly doom scrolling through Instagram.

  3. I deleted Instagram an year ago to avoid the distraction of others social life. I instead focus on that really matters to me. Like improving my personality and also my way of thinking. I started reading books a few year ago. So tell what’s your take on this.

    Reading books will always be far greater for you in the long term than any cheap content farm entertainment you get from those apps.

    And I’m not doing the boomer thing where it’s like “book good phone bad.”

    Obviously phones have their uses and are an integral part of our lives but we certainly benefit from lengthening our attention spans through active engagement.

    The truth is, reading books takes more work than watching videos, movies, or tv shows.

    You have to actively engage your mind when reading and that takes focus.

    Fortunately if you read regularly enough this becomes easier overtime, and it’s a pretty healthy form of entertainment for your brain in many ways.

    Ideally more teenagers today should be avid readers and use their cell phones for other stuff but this is the world we live in.
