The Importance of Books in our Life

If there is something that cannot be replaced is the fact that books are of utmost importance in our lives. The most paramount importance of books in our life is the fact that they are symbols of knowledge. Books are inevitable to the human race and I believe that we all could agree on one thing, to some people books are part of their everyday life, a best friend a key component shaper of their lives. No wonder the world at large convenes to celebrate the World Book Day on 23rd of April each year. Having said that let us have a look at the following seven importance of books in our lives. 

Books are our best companions: It is widely said that books are our best companions, A book is a best friend who will never, no matter what, walk away from you. Books are like those friends you can always count on at all times regardless of where you are and what you are doing.

A source of inspiration and encouragement: Books like Gifted hands by Ben Carson gives you that drive and inspiration that you need to stir you forward to push and fight in order to achieve your dreams. Such books are great inspirational stories that we cannot forget what they teach us any time we take a moment to interact with the content therein.

Books are a source of immense pleasure: Books demand nothing from us: instead, they give us immense pleasure. Books give us plenty of joy from the information present in them-some have compelling stories that captivate our minds. They allow us to travel into the world of the unknown, a world of pure imagination which is coupled with a lot of lessons.

Books improve our standards of living: Have you ever wondered what would happen to us if all people had not gone to school? We would all be poor now right? It is true that through books one is compelled to get a job or start a job and employ other people. Through taking such an initiative, we all end up improving our lives.

A source of inspiration and encouragement: Books like Gifted hands by Ben Carson gives you that drive and inspiration that you need to stir you forward to push and fight in order to achieve your dreams. Such books are great inspirational stories that we cannot forget what they teach us any time we take a moment to interact with the content therein.

Again, books enrich our experiences and sharpen our intellects: Books as a source of knowledge and power. No wonder Cicero said this “A room without books is like a body without a soul”. What books teach us cannot be overlooked. If we focus on getting the contents of what we read, we will honestly be enriched in a number of ways. Remember knowledge is power.

Books help widen our interests and broaden our outlook: Books enable us to have a deeper understanding of various things something that allows us to get the best out of our daily struggles. This is through the understanding of different aspects of life.

Molds our characters: Human beings are imitators of what they hear, see, learn or read. This is another very important value of books in one’s life. We always like imitating what is valuable and beneficial to us-books to a larger extent provide just that, at your comfort. They help you change to a better person.

If at all you are looking for encouragement that will help you fight off the odds of life with bravery, then books are what you need. Books will go way further on ensuring that your mind is filled up with noble thoughts that awaken our souls and mold our characters. The importance of books is always emphasized every year with the focus of the world book day being to instill courage in children to take the pleasure of reading books to a higher extent. In clear terms, the more you read the more uncovered you are, your frames of mind, your thoughts and your creative energy changes. I trust that my identity, conduct, thoughts and learning are altogether based on the books I have perused. Nothing can add to our mind more than perusing a book. It is all worth a read, take time and delve into reading. The results will be awesome and we will all see the light that we are looking for in this life.
