Why do you #read so many books? ๐ค
Do you remember most of the information you gained from them? If not, then what's the benefit of reading so many books? ๐
I've always been fascinated by this question.
It reminds me of a story I heard in my childhood. A student ๐once asked his teacher the same question, and the teacher didn't answer him immediately.
A few days later, the teacher took the student to a river ๐ and showed him a pot ๐บwith holes. He asked the student to fill the pot with water from the river ๐ง. The student was confused ๐ค, but he tried anyway. As expected, the water leaked out of the holes, and the student failed to bring the water back ๐.
The student returned to the teacher, feeling frustrated, and said, 'I failed. I couldn't bring the water.' But the teacher smiled ๐ and said, 'You didn't fail. Look at the pot; it's clean now!'
The teacher explained that just like the pot, our minds are like vessels with holes ๐ง . When we read a book, the information is like the water that flows in and out ๐ง. We may not remember everything, but the process of reading cleanses our minds ๐งโโ, gives us new ideas ๐ก, and helps us grow as individuals.
That's the power of reading ๐! It's not just about retaining information ๐; it's about the transformation that occurs within us ๐ฅ. And that's why I read so many books ๐!
So, I encourage you to pick up a book today and start reading. Let the words #transform you ๐ฎ #inspire ๐ซyou, and help you #grow. Who knows, you might just discover a new #passion, a new #interest, or a new #perspective on life.
Happy reading! ๐๐
