“There's no better way to inform and expand you mind on a regular basis than to get into the habit of reading good literature.”
By Stephen R. Covey in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change
Let’s meet Mr. Cracker.
Mr. Cracker lives alone and struggles with his mental well-being.
He yearns to break free from his stagnant routine of a 9-5 job followed by aimless evenings at home.
His social circle mirrors his uninspiring lifestyle, filled with unmotivated individuals resigned to monotonous lives.
One day, he decides to take control. He begins reading clichéd motivational and self-help books, determined to kickstart a positive change.
Despite initial struggles, Mr. Cracker commits to learning one new thing every day.
Gradually, reading becomes his favourite part of the day, igniting a passion within him.
Eager to share his newfound knowledge, he turns to his friends, but finds little receptiveness.
So, he seeks solace in online book communities, where he finds like-minded individuals.
Through this newfound community, Mr. Cracker's life undergoes a remarkable transformation for the better.
Could Mr. Cracker have achieved this without embracing the idea of expanding his knowledge? Unlikely.
He might have remained trapped in his cycle of lethargy and demotivation.
So, the next time you're feeling stuck, take a page from Mr. Cracker's book—literally.
