Books are the quintessential part of many of our lives. Books have several usages like they entertain,

educate and they are the best of companions. They are manifestation of life without blood and flesh.

You can always read a book and a book unlike people is never going to hurt you. Books can also be
viewed as a treasure trove of knowledge. In this era of digital knowledge nevertheless, books have an

upper edge. Every time you read a book you get a clearer perspective of the topic. Books don’t strain

your eyes like these digital media. If you read the same book at different age, you are going to interpret

it in a different manner.
Books can also be viewed as the savior that save us from the conundrum brewing inside our minds thus

appeasing us with the chimera that it beholds. Books sensitizes an individual, it makes them
understanding. Whenever you are confused or demotivated you can always grab a book full of
motivational quotes or a book of motivational genre to boost yourself up and make yourself feel better.

Books sway us to an altogether different realm, they provide us with opinions, insights and spirit to live.

Books on places and related to travelling are just phenomenal, they take you to places, while you
reveling in the comfort zone of your home. You can always time travel while you are reading a book
related to history. Biographies and autobiographies open up new vistas of life. We learn from
autobiographies and biographies of legends. “My experiments with truth”, “Long Walk to Freedom” are
some of the autobiographies by visionaries like MK Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. Books act as a medium
through which the knowledge is passed on from one generation to the other.
Different people have different tastes and choices. None of the human being is outright useless
similarly, a book even though it might not be that convincing for a particular individual, it is not all futile.

Every book offers some takeaway, some insights and perspectives. Try to lay hands on as many books as

you can because every single book is a learning opportunity. If you read a book with all your heart, then

it gets embedded in the palimpsest of your heart and you carry the essence of that book whole your life.

The best way one can contribute to mankind is by writing a book.
