“The more you read,
The more you know.
The more you know,
The smarter you grow.
The smarter you grow,
The stronger your voice,
When speaking your mind,
Or making your choice”
Reading isnt very good of a way to learn. Ive learned more from random youtube videos(like kurzgesagt) and websites. Book’s are more of a way to express peoples idea’s and story’s. Also wisdom has no affect on the power of your voice. No matter how loud you are, nobody will listen to you. I think a better way to live is to learn to deal with the imperfections in the world and find your own happiness. Plus what is this about the smarter your grow? Your intelligence lies on what you are being exposed to, not how you are growing.
J.T., you make a good point. People learn in different ways, and you seem to have found one that works for you. That’s great. I thinkg that videos also are ways to express people’s ideas and stories. Don’t you? Wisdom has made a difference in how I view people’s opinions. I much prefer to listen to informed and educated speakers. Do you see a relationship between growing and the learning or reading choices you make?
The more books you read can open up many more opportunities to learn from others and their opinions. Many books give insights on different situations helping you to understand them.

What We Become…
“What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.”
“May blessings be upon the head of Cadmus, the Phoenicians, or whoever it was that invented books.”

Frigate like a Book
There is no frigate like a book
by Emily Dickinson
There is no Frigate like a Book To take us Lands away, Nor any Coursers like a Page Of prancing Poetry - This Traverse may the poorest take Without oppress of Toll - How frugal is the Chariot That bears a Human soul.
