Reading has various forms; be it a book, magazine, blogs, online article, and even a word written on a wall can be a form of reading. A single sized book provides you many hours of entertainment. It introduces us places without traveling. It changes the destiny of men or nations for better. To enumerate, reading increases our intellectual level, knowing that mind is more powerful when put in action. It boosts up our confidence; we become able to communicate with people around us. However, reading should be encouraged among students at an early stage which brings consistency. It shouldn’t be presented as a chore, but as a gift. Reading influences students towards positivity in respect to which they stay focused and work with determination. In the same way reading make us understand the importance of self-belief. It transforms journey from unknown to known. It makes us able to tackle problems smoothly and calmly so that we can handle every situation. On the whole, it only takes few minutes to get started, experience yourself with joy of reading .Use it like a sword ,defend yourself and get what you want in life. MAHAN ASLAM Turbat
