Knowledge is Power! A knowledgeable person cannot be easily deceived. Someone who doesn’t read wallows in ignorance and is like a time bomb waiting to explode. Someone once said, “Your position in five years from now will be determined by two things: first, the books you read; and second, the friends you keep.” There are three categories of people in life where reading is concerned: Those who don’t read, those who buy books but don’t read them, and those who buy and read the books. If I may ask: to which category do you belong? A man who can read but chooses not to read is not better than a man who cannot read. The world belongs to those who “know”.

In this book, you will learn:
• How to spark a renewed passion for reading
• The importance of reading
• The dangers of not reading
• How to become a solution provider by knowledge
• How to set up a personal development library
• How to become an “A” Student at school
• How to become a better leader in both the private and public sectors.
• How to become an excellent teacher in teaching your students
• How to become a star employee at work through knowledge acquisition
• How to become a better parent in aiding your child’s education
• Ways to revive the reading culture in our society
