Read and You'll Succeed

The month of November celebrates the National Reading Month with the theme, "Pagbasa: Susi ng Magandang Kinabukasan". The theme says that reading is the key of a better future, and I believe in it. As we read, we learn, and as we know hot to read, we understand, and we apply reading, we will succeed. Reading has so much role and it's an important path for us to reach our goals. From our home, we were already taught by our parents how to write; starting with our names, to English Alphabet numbers, colors and shapes. Until we go to higher learning. We entered nursery and elementary, secondary until we graduate with our chosen course, reading is a part of our success.

Yes, we were taught how to write, but we can not write all alone if we don't know how to read. Yes, we learned, but we don't know how to study with all by ourselves if we don't know how to read. We gain knowledge through listening but we will learn deeper when reading. Through reading, we can learn how to stand all alone, and we can understand more. Reading is the best way to  understand things broader. Without reading, we are like blind. Without it, we are like walking through darkness without something to light us up. We can't see that's why we stumble too many times, and worst we feel scared and wounded physically and even mentally. Without reading, we are like dead, we feel so cold knowing nothing, and feeling nothing. Reading is our light. It is the fire that keeps on burning within us that keeps our soul alive. With reading, we wander more, we get curious but it helps us to find answers. It is a path that leads us. We can see clearer visions even the lights are dim, even darkness is around us. It is our hope. It is our teacher, it helps us in understanding, and analyzing even without guidance.

Read even when we grow old. Reading is very helpful. We know more about things. It clears the complications, the problems in our minds. It solves the mystery of whatever we feel so unknown. Value reading, and our wisdom widens, broadens, and deepens. Read, and you will succeed.
