How to like reading? This question came out of my mind throughout those years of studying. Reading has a lot of impacts in my life. Through reading, I have improved myself in the speed of reading and understanding the context. I know it is cliché but useful. For me, through reading, I could write more. As for me writing is an expression of my mind in a written language. I found by reading, I could find another way of understanding myself. Without further a due, here is some advice to love reading.

To start up, firstly is to take your time but not too long. You need to take an action by asking yourself, if not now, when can I start or do it? By taking your time, you feel that you appreciate yourself and give a space to yourself without adding more pressures. This might or might not work for you but at least you could try. I personally take this advice to make myself a time before read any books because for me, it is soothing to have a willing heart to read rather than to have pressured mind and unease heart to start to read. Pick a day for example on Sunday, a day you can relax and have a time to read.

Pick any of your favorite places to read, for instance, the places such as in the bed, in a kitchen, in a garden or at your favorite café. Of course, you need a cozy and quiet place to read. Not forget to mention, a place with decent lighting so you could read your book clearly.

Pick a book that suits to your level of understanding. You should pick a book that is not too heavy to understand with advance vocabulary. For a starter, a book that contain words which easy for you to understand. After a while, then you could pick the book with heavy and advance vocabulary.

Form a pledge to yourself with the witness from anyone who you could trust. By doing so, you could keep on track of your reading habits and others could catch up with your updates. This way you could discipline yourself to keep reading. Also, others could motivate you as well as motivate them to read- a motivation for both you and others.

Seek and befriend with someone or anyone who really loves to read. Here you could ask for latest novels or books, share your opinions with him/her about the books and motivate you to like reading. Not only that, this could create a good competition and level up your reading skills as well.

Last but not least, make the reading as your daily habit. Every morning or any time, try to read newspaper. From there, you could gain information and news within and outside of the country. Either it is in Malay or English Language, try to read it. I gain interest in reading was by reading a newspaper. I know some of you might not agree with this. But for me, by reading a newspaper, I could understand more of what happen to my surroundings. It does not have to read it in details; you could read key words from it and pick your own favorite newspaper. If to obtain newspaper is fussy for you, try to browse any local newspapers’ website that is available now.

All in all, the advices above might or might not work for you but I wish you could try it first then develop and maintain it. To read is to understand for you. It is an evolving action where we could explore and discover of our true self.
