The Hidden Secret to Get Rich
Do you know what is the most common and effective habit of the ultra-successful people in the world?
They all read books.
“You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” — Ray Bradbury
You may ask, how can reading books make me successful? Books teach us lessons. They offer solutions to the problems we face. And, most important of all, they motivate you to take action and change your life.
Let me give you an example. We all know Bill Gates. One of the richest men on Earth. Have you ever thought about what makes him successful and so innovative? He reads at least a book a week.
Warren Buffett, the uber-successful investor, was once asked about the secret to his success. His answer? He pointed to a stack of nearby books and said, “Read 500 pages like this every day. That’s how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it.”
A study of 1200 wealthy people found a common habit in all of them. Reading Books. (Huffpost.com Andrew merely)
Reading books influence our personalities in many ways. You will agree that every good book you read teaches you something valuable and positive. Don’t you? In fact, a survey found that about 38 percent of the educators consider that independent reading increased overall the students’ skills and achievements levels.
“Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.” — Jim Rohn
Developing a habit of book-reading is a blessing one cannot thank enough for.
But where do you should start? Whether you should begin reading all sorts of books available in the market or a specific genre? Here is the guide.
According to Tom Corley, author of the Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals, rich people who have a net worth of $3.2 million or more read books that are about self-improvement, education, and success. Whereas, poor people having a net worth of $5,000 or less read books meant for entertainment purposes, such as novels.
Successful people are particularly obsessed with biographies and autobiographies of other influentials for guidance and inspiration. Visit the blog of Bill Gates, and you will know why?
You may have heard many examples of rich people dropping out of school and without a formal education. But it is evident from their stories that they never stopped learning. Reading is a vital part of their lives and success.
Convinced? Ready to start reading? Start from the Book, “ Change your questions, change your life.”
This life-changing book will teach you how your questions impact your lives. And how you can change questions to change your life. I assure you that after reading this book, you will never stop reading books. Ever.
