1000 Hours

I know it's long but it is worth to read. A short story.

I met a lady few days ago. Waiting for a friend at his office compound. She just stepped out of her car. I was looking at my cell phone and reading a chapter

Saying “why would someone trust you”.

She saw it and couldn’t resist herself and asked me “Do you loving reading”?

Hmmm I said sometime.

She asked again “How often sometime comes”

I had no idea how to answer this question. So, I decided to switch the question and asked the same question to her and played smart.

She said everyday decided to read every day on 15 March 2017 and completed her 1000 hours of reading.

1000 hrs OMG the figure was staggering. I got more interested and asked her 2 questions?

1.         That’s amazing which author you like the most?

2.         I heard it changes people’s perspective how about you?

Answer 1. She said that people evaluate author first, if his or her writing is capable to give them some nuggets. I don’t judge any a book from the authors name. But more on content.

Answer 2. It changed my attitude. When I say attitude mean the way I react on situations. There were incidences happened in my life but thanks to the reading because of that I knew how respond in those situations instead of reaction and further disappointment.

Actually, you get more benefited when you read different authors and gets the nuggets out of it.

Sometimes I could visualise like a zig-zag puzzle where to fit some principle I have read.

Now a days I started to write journal after reading it hardly takes 10 mins. But makes me more efficient.

It was an awesome nugget from her. It made my day and gave me one more reason to read daily.
