“A man ought to read just as inclination leads him; for what he reads as a task will do him little good”
— Samuel Johnson

Simplified Meaning:
When you read because you genuinely want to, you learn and enjoy it more. For example, if you're interested in cooking and you read a cookbook, you'll remember the recipes better and have fun trying them out. But if you're forced to read something you don't like, like a boring textbook for school, you might not learn much or care about it. Choosing what to read based on what you find interesting makes the experience more rewarding. It's like when you watch a movie you love—you're more likely to remember the story and talk about it with friends. In your life, try to pick books or articles that spark your curiosity, because they'll likely teach you more and make you happier.
