Unlock your mind; READ!

A misguided conception in the face of emerging technology and advancement in our world hovers around the globe without restraint. It is as regards the benefits of reading. It is fast becoming a subject of debate, To read or not to read; a question of relevance in a new world.
The importance of reading in international development cannot be over emphasized in the face of the need to achieve sustainable development.

Much has been said about reading on an international and collaborative level, however, we will discuss the importance of ensuring personal development before taking on the global mandate for sustainable development.

To develop the world, you must develop yourself first, then develop through the journey of International Development.
This is easy to achieve. Reading is a powerful tool to unlock your mental capacity as it adds new knowledge to you, broadens your mind, challenges you to think, it is a mental exercise that refreshes your brain and expands it. Reading gives you an edge over those who don't and takes you miles ahead of them.

Reading introduces you to your strengths and capacity which will equip you to develop the world.
Reading is the light that every generation needs to guide its actions towards the achievement of a better life and world for it to thrive.
The books you read must not be centered around a particular area, it needs not be in relation to formal education always, you need to be a vast reader to thrive in the new world regardless of the lies you might have been told as regards any form of alternative to reading.


Resolve to enjoy reading as many shy away from at because they feel it is boring. Reading is enjoyable especially when you bear in mind the attendant benefits of self development and improvement as highlighted above.

Create an interesting reading atmosphere for yourself by reading while you do what you love doing the most for example, cooking, soccer, singing and so on.

Reading is made easier today in the face of technology designed to augment it, the existence of eBooks, audiobooks, eLibraries, reading softwares and so on make it easier to read, please take advantage of whichever media you have access to in order to develop yourself.
The truth that we fail to tell at all times is that failure to read is the quickest path to extinction and irrelevance, as failure to read keeps you away from the knowledge you need to thrive in the world and remain relevant wherever you are.



Slaves were not allowed to learn to read during the era of slavery because their masters understood the liberating capacity of reading.
For every second you spend reading, you emancipate your mind, learn something new or improve already acquired knowledge, an addition is made to your life and you are better positioned to make a change.

Zeal and action are important to ensure sustainable development, however, these will be misguided without research and acquisition of knowledge. If the actions taken are not borne out of research and careful study of a particular area, the actions will fail and may produce fatal results.

To take on the global mandate of international development, you must design a "self" mandate of personal development which is first achievable through reading thereby acquiring knowledge which equips you ultimately for the global mandate of achieving sustainable development.

The greatest gift you can give to the coming generation is the ability to read and write. Buy a book for an indigent child and teach at least one child to read today.

Emancipate yourself; READ.
