3 Reasons Why You Should Read At Least 2 Books in a Year
23rd April is the World
Book Day!
The power of books to advance
individual fulfilment and to create social change is unequalled. Intimate and
yet deeply social, books provide far-reaching forms of dialogue between individuals,
within communities and across time.
As Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani
schoolgirl who was shot by the Taliban for attending classes, said in her
speech at the United Nations:
‘Let us pick up our books and our pens. They are our most powerful
weapons.’
World Book Day or World Book and
Copyright Day (also known as International Day of the Book or World Book Days)
is a yearly event on April 23rd, organized by the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), to promote reading,
publishing and copyright. In the United Kingdom, the day is recognized on the
first Thursday in March.
World Book Day was celebrated for the
first time on 23 April 1995.
We list down three points, why you
should read at least two books in a year:
1)
Books are your true friends, who are not going to leave you in your lifetime!
“There is no friend as loyal as a
book.” Ernest Hemingway
2)
Books are your true guides!
Mark Twain rightly said “Good friends,
good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
3)
Books bring you the creativity within you!
“If there's a book that you want to read, but
it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
Toni
Morrison
