Reading Maketh a Complete Man:
Respected Headmaster, teachers, and my dear friends. I am Pooja of class XI. I am before you to share my ideas on the topic “Reading Maketh a Complete Man”. Francis Bacon said, “Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man.” But the question concerns only reading here.
Extensive and intensive reading builds the mind with valuable ideas and information. A full mind is better than an ill-informed or uninformed mind. Reading nourishes the intellect and nurtures one’s imagination. Researches prove that reading good books can reduce stress levels by half. There is nothing more relaxing and soothing than reading a good book. Without traveling, a sensitive and sensible reader travels around the world. The reader is exposed to a new culture and innovative ideas. Reading is a gift. It can be cultivated. It is said that many students squander their time playing games on mobile phones or watching useless film music or comic scenes when they must be spending their purple hours of life reading books. They also waste their time on social websites like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. This addiction to digital technology and browsing harmful websites distracts the young ones.
To dissuade young ones from social media and mass media and help them read books is equal to climbing Everest under hostile weather. So, teachers and parents should share their own joy of reading good books by sharing the best of what they read with the student community. Reading makes a man complete. To lead holistic and meaningful lives, I request all my friends to develop a love for reading great classics under the guidance of dedicated teachers and with the help of libraries. –
The more you read, the more you will know.
The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.
So Read and Grow!
Thank you
