Reading Habit

Nowadays, reading habit have gone very unfamiliar. If you travel by train from Seremban-KL Central for example, its hardly to find a person hold a reading material and reading. Passengers would rather play games on their all-smart phone and gadget/sleeping (acceptable) or simply starred at you for the whole journey. (what a waste of time and.......yewwwwww. annoying definitely.)

Who should be blame for the decreasing numbers of reading habit among us, Malaysian nowadays? On what basis do I said so? try to Google search, you'll found many reports, articles and journals discussing on the topic. 

Why should we put our concern on the matter?Allow me to answer this according to my own experience. the lecturer announce the date for test 1 of the reading-basis subject. I neither bother to read through the slide notes nor the text book. During exam. I flip over the questions. Hah. Here you Annur. I do remember being teach about those topics. But I cant recall the details. When the result came out. I deserved just what I had worked on. 20/50. Satisfy? No. Why? Because I knew that I could do better if I read the boring pages that I left on the shelf. 

Reading is Power. True. SO TRUE until it cant be deny. Without reading, one cant enhance his knowledge, his skill or ability. To operate a machine also need you to read over the instruction right? When you first time get to hold your iphone, ipad, android tablets etc, surely you would see the manual guide printed/virtually right. It also apply when it comes to TERMS and CONDITIONS of a warranty, product or service provided to you. We should read the T&C thoroughly. If anything happen, lets say unexpected sound come from your new Hi-fi set, surely you would contact your dealer right. You eagerly demanded for free service or reimbursement. Unfortunately, when the dealer refer back to the page where T&C lies, it end up you have to pay for fixing the problem since you didnt know that the product is already out of warranty period or damage/ dis function cant be claim under warranty. 

There are lots of other importance of reading to you. Lets make reading habit our habit. and for muslim, lets have reciting/reading Quran our habit. InsyAllah barakah. okay. that all for now. tata
