Do your everyday reading habits centre around updates on the Inter? In case you are one of innumerable individuals who don’t make a habit of reading consistently you may be passing up a great opportunity: Reading has a noteworthy number of advantages and only a couple of advantages of reading are recorded below. Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information and you never know when it might be useful to you. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to overe any challenge you’ll ever face. Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought：Should you ever find yourself in terrible circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else — your job, your possessions, your money, even your health — knowledge can never be taken from you. At the same time, the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to, and they’ll surely make their way into your everyday vocabulary. Being able to express your ideas clearly in words is of great help in any profession and knowing that you can speak to higherranking people with selfconfidence can be a great encouragement to your selfesteem（ 自尊 ） . It could even aid in your career as those who are wellread, wellspoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events. Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as nonnative speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will improve their own speaking and writing fluency. When you read a book, you have to remember a lot of characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history as well as the various plots that weave their way through every story. That’s a fair bit to remember, but brains are wonderful things and can remember these things with relative ease. Amazingly enough, whenever you remember something new, new synapses are formed and existing ones are strengthened. How cool that is! No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A wellwritten novel can transport you to other realms（ 領域 ） while an interesting article will distract you and keep you in the present moment , letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax.
