Most have isolated events of hitting an article or a book, now and then. Why? The perspectives are too diverse for anyone to draw any synopsis.
One is constantly juggling professional competitiveness and relationship complexities with the skill and knowledge that one has. Which, if not reinforced, might not be good enough to retain one even in their current position tomorrow. Knowledge and skill need to be constantly reinforced. Specifically, when relationships today are complex and heterogeneous, the key is in identifying the emotion, thought, expectations and expressions of people around you to catharsis and bond together.
Reading experiences and expressions from various individuals draw a sagacious perspective to manage one's own life and relationships.
Reading Expands the horizon.
We all have a specific orientation of looking at things in our lives, like relationships, people, behaviours, health, business, and the list can go on.
Reading an article or a Book touches one or more of these aspects. Whatever we read, our brain consumes. The process of resonating with a thought gives a decisive influence on our behaviour.
These small moments of truth could be the deal quencher in a relationship or a business.

Self-improvement programs could be preceptive; however, the overall gamut is that one of the most effective ways to accumulate knowledge and intelligence is to cultivate an opinionated content reading habit.

We are apes, and what we do best is to ape. Well, it might not sound fascinating, but it is as real as it can get.

Moving entertainment to infotainment might take time but shall increases bonding, care, affection and respect, all the necessary ingredients for a healthy mind, body, and family.

This one is simple. All that time spent reading isn't spent shopping, going to bars, or falling prey to any of the new age aggressive, emotional marketing influencers. While it's not a benefit that I wish to give for reading, but it's always nice when you can cut your discretionary expenses down a little.
If you need to Orate or write, then Read.
It's not strange to witness monosyllable emails from professionals, and many have stage frights. In my professional career, the best orators and writers always carried a book and had subscriptions to one of the various online magazines or writing clubs.
When you read a lot, you're exposed to many different kinds of sentences and paragraphs. Your brain absorbs all the different ways you could say or present information. The more you read, the more you give your brain to absorb. Ultimately it all translates to your expression, both written and verbal.
A Sure cure to Insomnia
Social media, I guess, is what people are hooked on too. At the cost of attention to near and dear ones at home, they go to bed and wake up with their social media accounts. I have someone I know who wakes up thrice every night to check (his/her) social media account.
The Anxiety created in this virtual social engagement has pharmacies flourishing, selling hypertension drugs, as they never sold before. I have no personal Social media accounts. What my business requires is what I have, and I don't manage it.
Pick up an article or a book and tuck yourself in. It's sure to put you into deep sweet slumber.
