Reading makes a full man

“Reading makes a full man” said English philosopher Sir Francis Bacon and no truer words were said than these. Reading nourishes the intellect and nurtures the imagination. There is nothing more relaxing and soothing than sitting in the corner of a room with a book in your hands. Without travelling, without even moving an inch, the reader is transported to a new world and is exposed to a new culture and new ideas.

Reading is a gift that not all inherit and therefore the Government of UAE’s initiative to declare 2016 as the Year of Reading is a great idea. This initiative should open the hitherto closed door for many and make them aware of the extensive powers that reading has. Parents and teachers will have a major role to play and they will have to come up with enterprising ways to encourage and entice children towards reading.

Today’s world is a world of technology. People have many distractions and diversions to spend their time. Most prefer to play a game on a computer or be active on social media, rather than to get involved in a simple activity such as reading. To steer them away from electronics and make them hold a book would be tantamount to climbing Mt Everest in inhospitable circumstances. So, parents and teachers will have to set the ball rolling. In order to do so, they can set a specific time at home and school for reading, and not only this, they should also read at the same time.

As I write this, I am imagining myself with a book in my hands, in the corner of my room, leafing through the pages and my mind wandering into the magnificent, exotic universe that the writer has created.

Value of reading

I’m a member of the school library. I borrow two books at a time. One of them is a Sinhala book and the other one is an English book. I can keep them for a period of two weeks.

We get pleasure by reading novels and short stories. We can learn good qualities of great persons by reading their biographies. We can improve our knowledge by reading novels, short stories, magazines and newspapers. It is said that knowledge is power. The best way to gain knowledge is by reading books.

A Fiery Biden, Ignoring Critics, Attacks Trump to Chants of ‘Lock Him Up’

Facing rising frustration in his party, the president brushed it off in an energetic speech in Michigan. Inside the room, at least, the Democratic mood was defiant, with cheers of “Don’t go, Joe.”

By Nicholas Nehamas and Reid J. Epstein

Nicholas Nehamas reported from Detroit, and Reid J. Epstein from Washington.

President Biden on Friday strove to turn the nation’s attention back to former President Donald J. Trump, delivering a fiery and energetic speech in battleground Michigan that painted his Republican rival as a convict, a rapist and a cheater while simultaneously attacking the news media for an insufficient focus on such misdeeds.

Even as Mr. Biden faces mounting pressure from congressional Democrats and major donors , he largely ignored the brewing Democratic revolt over his refusal to drop out of the race, beyond an emphatic statement that “I am running, and we’re going to win.”

The president’s defiance, and the crowd’s enthusiastic response, helped give the Biden event at a Detroit high school gym the flavor of a Trump rally at times. When Mr. Biden referred to his political opponent, there were chants of “Lock him up” — which the president did not discourage. When he criticized news media coverage, big cheers followed, with his supporters turning to boo and point fingers at reporters.

Mr. Biden thundered that his rival was a “convicted criminal” and a “business fraud,” and said that he had “raped” the writer E. Jean Carroll, whom Mr. Trump was found liable of sexually abusing by a civil court.

In all, the 35-minute speech was a version of Mr. Biden that has been absent since he began his re-election campaign — and maybe one not seen since he was on a presidential ticket with Barack Obama. After two weeks of Democratic panic since his distressing debate performance, plummeting donations and polls that show him falling further behind Mr. Trump, Mr. Biden acted as if he was in the presidential race to stay.

“I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party, the only Democrat or Republican who has beaten Donald Trump ever,” said Mr. Biden, whose remarks were greeted by loud chants of “Don’t go, Joe” and “Don’t you quit.”

Reading Makes A Full Man

The major aim is to become an educated, affluent and active citizen of the world. However, to be a citizen of the world it calls for broader outlook, deep understanding and a true appreciation of other cultures. If we analyze and study their lives, we could see how their education interactions with others and writings have made them real and deserving citizens of the world. Therefore, reading and writing play the most significant role in our life. A person reads for pleasure, for understanding or for improving his/her stock of knowledge. Reading which is done in schools, colleges or professional institutions is only the basic one that’s why they show and guide what and where to look for. For examples, we can give a look at some of the specialists like- Doctors, Lawyers or Engineers cannot be content with what they have studied in their colleges. Unless, on the other hand, if they will not study professional publications later they cannot be up to date and utilize their skills and hard work. For pleasure and time-pass we all read a lot in our own mother tongue and in other languages as well. It is truly conducted that the companionship of books is the best that one could look for and also one should have a habit of reading. In reality, books may please you and never offend you. The reading may be light as a weekend magazine or it may be a masterpiece which gives you satisfaction and mode of relaxation. A person should read materials pertaining to his/her profession or personal interest and simultaneously he/she may also read books on other areas for fun, entertainment and to enjoy. Though everyone should read books on different interests and surely reading will make a full or an all-rounder person. Such people of wide knowledge are really useful, interesting, optimistic and full of life. It has been assumed that reading the works, thoughts and ideas of others gives us an opportunity to reflect on our own internal belief structure and will-power. This definitely allows us to restructure and reshape our own thoughts and active ideas and can be present in the form of writing and sharing with all others. It is observed that reading improves literacy and communication gap, which makes a person more intelligent, confident and allows for the better public presentation of own-self.
