Read What You Love Until You Love to Read |
| The foundation of learning |
| Is reading |
| I don’t know smart person who doesn’t read |
| And read all the time |
| The problem is |
| What do I read |
| How do I read |
| Because for most people its struggle and a chore |
| So, the most important thing is to learn how to educate yourself |
| And the way to educate yourself is to develop a love for reading |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| It’s that simple |
| Everybody I know who reads a lot love to read |
| And they love to read because they read books they loved |
| It’s a little a bit of a catch-22 |
| But you basically want to start off just reading wherever you are |
| And then keep building up from there until reading becomes a habit |
| And then eventually you will just get bored of the simple stuff |
| You may start up reading fiction |
| Then you may graduate to science fiction |
| Then you may graduate to nonfiction |
| Then you may graduate to science or philosophy or mathematics or whatever it is |
| But take your natural path |
| And just to read the things that interests you |
| Until you can understand them |
| And then you’ll actually move the next thing |
| And the next thing |
| And the next thing |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| It’s that simple |
| At some point there’s too much out there to read |
| And even reading is full of junk |
| There are actually things you can be especially early on |
| That will program your brain a certain way |
| And then later |
| Things that you read you will decide whether those things are true or false |
| Based on the earlier things |
| So it is important that you read foundational things |
| And the ultimate is when you walk into a library |
| And you look at it up and down |
| And you don’t fear any book |
| You know that you can take any book off the shelf |
| And you can read it |
| You can understand it |
| You can absorb what is true |
| You can reject what is false |
| And you have a basis for working that out |
| That is logical and not purely based on opinions |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| It’s that simple |
| The beauty of the Internet is the entire Library of Alexandria |
| Times 10 is at your fingertips at all times |
| It is not the means of education |
| Or the means of learning are scarce |
| The means of learning are abundant |
| It is the desire to learn that’s scarce |
| So, you really have to cultivate that desire |
| And it’s not even cultivated you have to not lose it |
| Children have a natural curiosity |
| If you go to a young child who is first learning a language |
| They’re pretty much always asking |
| What this? |
| What’s that? |
| Why’s this? |
| Who is that? |
| They’re always asking questions |
| But one of the problems is that |
| Our educational system |
| And our way of raising children replaces this curiosity with compliance |
| And once you replace the curiosity with compliance you get an obedient factory |
| worker |
| But you no longer get a creative thinker |
| And you need creativity |
| You need the ability to feed your own brain to learn whatever you want |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| Read what you love until you love to read |
| It’s that simple |
