I enjoy reading
Reading is an indispensable part of my life. I am fortunate that I had a childhood without easy access to electronic devices, where I developed reading habits.
As a child and teenager, I read mainly for entertainment and fun, but now I read for learning and growth. Reading is the most effective way to learn from the greatest minds throughout history. Although my purpose has changed, the enjoyment has not.
