THE SECRET

 I am copying here from Winning Therapy as found on Instagram.  It's worthwhile.  

Elon Musk read for up to 10 hours a day as a child, including the entire Encyclopedia Britannica by age 9.  When asked how he built SpaceX, he simply replied, "I read books."

Andrew Carnegie was destined for a life of poverty.  Then a wealthy local opened his library to working-class kids.  The books he read during that time changed the trajectory of his life forever.

Warren Buffett spends 80% of his day reading.  When asked for advice, he said, "Read 500 pages every day.  Knowledge builds up like compound interest."

Mark Cuban has spent over 3 hours a day reading since his early 20s.  "Everything I read was public.  The same information was available to anyone who wanted it.  Turns out most people didn't want it."

Bill Gates reads 50 books a year.  He calls books "the key to my success" and uses them to gain an edge in everything he does.

Less than 30% of Americans read more than one book a year.  Meanwhile, the most successful people in the world devour them like their lives depend on it.

If you want to build a better life, start by building a better mind.

Read books! 

And I might add, encourage others, especially your children, to do the same.  

Speaking of children, we have a special day for one today.  Happy Birthday, RJ.  You're growing up so fast - and such talent.  It is amazing.  Here holding his cousin's child, Mac.
