Reading is the Key to Success

     "Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers" - Charles W. Elio.

     This month we are celebrating the English month with the theme, "Pagbasa: Susi sa Magandang Kinabukasan." This theme focuses on reading. Reading is fundamental to functioning in today's society. It is a vital skill in finding a good job. There are reports and memos which must be read and responded to. Poor reading skills increases the amount of time it takes to absorb and react in the workplace. Reading is very important because it develops the mind. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability.

     A child's reading skills are important to their success in school as they will allow them to access the breadth of the curriculum and improve their communication and language skills. Reading can be a fun, wonderful and imaginative time for children, which opens doors to all kinds of new worlds for them.

     "The pen is mightier than the sword." Ideas written down have changed the destiny of men and nations for better or worse. We need to read and research to build on the good ideas and expose the bad ideas before they bring devastation and destruction. By reading, we can be armed in this never-ending, life-and-death struggle.

     Reading is very important. Truly that reading is the key for a better future. The fact of the power of written ideas communicated through reading is a foundational reason why some governments oppose free and honest communication. The more we read, the more we are educated and the more we discover new things. So, drop everything and read.
