Books and Goals

The goals towards which you work can be influenced by many factors. What you hear or see from others can make you see a situation in a whole new light. Though it may depend on how strongly you already feel towards a subject, reading can either support or destroy that view. Reading books can affect your goals, what you believe in, and what you want to be later in life. In other words, a huge chunk of your inspiration comes from, yes, a big clump of boring little black shapes on a plain white page. Hopefully, you read quite a bit, because we all need a little motivation to keep moving now and then. It is important to find something that keeps you going. Granted, we all get stuck now and then, but that no reason for us to give up. By reading you can work through a lot of your problems, because relating to someone who has the same problems or views can help you better understand how to fix things for yourself. But opening a book and staring at page one won't help you get anywhere. You have to use this little thing called imagination. Reading through other peoples experiences can help you to understand what to look out for in the future, and how to deal with a lot more than it seems books can actually help you with. This is basically all of what is in our history books. Things happened to people, they reacted one way or another, and boom, history happened. Reading also helps with problem solving simply by waking up your brain and opening your mind to new possibilities.
