Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week124: What I Think About The Book Reading Culture

Do you believe that books contain information that can change your life? If yes or no, back up your answer with valid points

Yes, I believe that books contain information that can change my life. Books contain a lot of information that can change my life as I can get to know about something that I didn't know before. Books provide me with knowledge and new perspectives that I need which can thereby expose me to ideas, cultures, and philosophies that can broaden my understanding.

Also, books can inspire me to become motivated through reading other people's stories, successes, and overcoming adversity and challenges. Also, books can offer me practical advice to improve my life especially in finance, health, and relationships.

Have you ever succeeded in completely reading a book you picked up at any point in your life... If yes, what are some of the lesson learnt, if No, what was your challenge

Well, I can't lie even as a student I find it difficult to read a complete book for my examination. Anytime that I picked a book to read my challenge has always been the following:

• Time factors: My schedule and other activities usually make it difficult for me to finish reading a book completely.

• Loss of interest: Most of the time I do feel discouraged by the content especially when it doesn't resonate, leading to my abandoning the book.

• Distractions: My compound is full of distractions, and maintaining focus is a challenge for me.

• Difficulty understanding: most at time I don't understand because of how complex the language or concepts can be.

If you are allowed to recommend a book(s) that has blessed or benefited you what book would that be?

If I am allowed to recommend a book(a) that I have benefited from it would be " To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. The book is one of the books that taught me the importance of empathy, standing up for what is right, and understanding others' perspectives. It is what I learnt from the book that I usually try to practice in every situation of my life with kindness and an open mind just as Scout and Atticus Finch did.
