The Right Reader

-
There’s a popular saying that  “readers are leaders”. I would rephrase this by saying, “reading the right books would help you to be the right leader”. It is good to read books, however, it is best to read the right books. A person preparing for a biology examination can’t lead in that exam if he or she reads law books. It is like using a drug prescribed for malaria to cure tuberculosis; that is obviously not going to cure tuberculosis. We have readers that are not reading rightly and it is really affecting them. Mind you, you should understand that reading other books is not totally wrong but you should set your priorities right. I am a writer, so I would read books that would help me become a better writer and improve daily but while I was in the university studying microbiology, I read my course books more than I read other books. A surgeon who is about to perform an operation would not read books that would not help him/ her or that are not related to the operation. In this year 2018, we need to read aright and not just read. This would help us achieve our goals this year. Right readers are on their way to becoming right leaders. If one of your goals this year is to improve your communication skills then I would implore you to read books that would help you do that. A person who wants to improve spiritually would read books targeted at that. Don’t read books that would only waste your time, read books that would utilize your time and energy because like it or not, you are using your energy to read. Read books that would lead you in the right way not books that would bring you down. Don’t just read……………. Read rightly!!
