Reading should make us feel energetic and full of life. Instead of just going through the motions, we should engage deeply with what we read, making it feel exciting and enlightening.

Think about when you read a thrilling adventure story or an inspiring biography – those books make you feel strong and motivated. To make the most out of reading, choose books that truly interest you and challenge your thinking, so you can grow and feel more alive with every page you turn.
