Why is it important for a writer to read more books?
Is it really work or is it just a myth?
First of all, I would like to share some of my personal experiences with you guys. I have heard several times and yet hearing the same common statement regarding good writing is :
“ Start reading books if you want to become a good writer”
well, this same phrase is repeated all the time, especially by teachers, nerds, YouTubers, and also Writers.
is it really helpful for everyone?
Before we start the discussion let me guess, how many of you guys would have tried to read books on a daily basis and be consistent with it? I'm sure many of you guys had also tried but failed to be consistent, am I right?
well, let me tell you about my experience, I don't know if it works the same for everyone or not but, to be honest, I have tried a lot of reading books and writing scribbles in my leisure time but all the time I had failed because of the inconsistency and also I wasn't a reader.
There is a famous quote about reading
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you‘ll go.” — Dr. Seuss.
This quote is perfect for anyone who loves to read, and it‘s a great way to encourage others to read more often.
According to Bill Gates, he reads about 50 novels annually. He claimed that “the major method I both learn new topics and assess my comprehension” is via reading.
have you ever thought about how reading books can be magic?
okay let's just imagine for a while:
You are in a dark room and there is no light entering that room.
But you anyhow need to light the room so that you can work.
What will you do?
You will simply connect to the main switchboard in your house and connect a bulb to your room, right?
A similar process happens in your brain as you read books… Neuroscientists say reading books can activate certain parts of the brain, which proves that reading books makes you creative and also increases your cognitive skills.
Books does not guarantee you success:
No matter how many books you read, success is not guaranteed. While reading can help improve your chances of success, there are no guarantees. Even the most successful people have failed at some point in their lives. The key is to learn from your failures and keep moving forward.
There are a lot of success stories out there of people who have made it big without reading a lot of books. However, these stories are usually the exception and not the rule. In most cases, reading can give you the edge you need to succeed.
Books that trigger you to work hard and try new techniques, or motivate or teach you to fight in the storm, are the books that will make you successful.
Reading books will only teach us strategies to find the right path where you will be the driver of the journey towards reaching your goal/ destination!
Books can provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to be successful. They can also inspire you to take action and achieve your goals. However, ultimately, it is up to you to put in the hard work and make things happen. If you’re looking for a guarantee of success, you won’t find it in any book.
Benefits of reading books:

In conclusion, reading and eating can be compared because the brain needs new information to function properly just as the body needs food to stay healthy.
Scientific studies have shown that reading does, in fact, improve cognitive processes in the brain, making one wiser.
Take the necessary steps and hone your qualities if you want to succeed.
A process for investing is required to deliver such a return, and “books,” as herein defined, are absolutely necessary for both the process’ continuity and its execution.
Let’s not forget that nothing else is helpful; only that which we are aware of. Keep in mind that nothing a human being does, says, thinks, or feels can be outside of what they already know.
