“Reading . . . worth mastering forever.” – Doc Meek

Author: “I’ve always loved reading.” – Doc Meek
I found that reading takes me into realms of knowledge about people, places and things . . . and everything! I can soar to the moon and on to the cosmos, plummet the depths of the sea, and do everything in between.
And I can go backwards and forwards in time, and remain in the moment of now if I want to.
“Paying attention to now is a gift. That’s why they call it the present.” 😮
Who gave me this quotation (I can’t remember right now)?
I can read slow and savor. I can read fast and furious [speed, not affect 😮 ]. Or I can read a mile a minute, if I have to. If I want to. (Using Photoreading, courtesy of my friend Dr. Paul Scheele and The Learning Strategies Corporation).
Fun to read a big book in 10 – 12 minutes, eh?
A guest blog from Sean Stephenson
Just got an email from Sean Stephenson on the topic of reading. I enjoy his blithe spirit.

Readers Are Leaders
Reading is an invaluable asset that helps us shape our thoughts and actions. By reading, we can unlock our true potential at earth-shattering speeds.
When we allow ourselves to be immersed in new ideas and foreign concepts, we expose our minds to a new way of thinking. These new perspectives help us gain a competitive advantage over others – and the best part about it, is reading is virtually free! (other than our time of course. :o).
