The Importance of Reading
Reading habit is poor among
Indonesians because most people haven’t realized the importance of reading.
Reading is very important activity to transform knowledge and technology. By
reading, one knows the world. He or she will understand what he doesn’t see by
himself or herself. The lines of the paragraphs in an article contain pieces of
knowledge. The knowledge is needed to improve the quality of human’s life.
Technology transformation from other country can only be done by reading a lot
various sources of literature. Valuable books in libraries and bookstores mean
nothing if they aren’t read.
Secondly,
by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening
in the world. When we know that something, we will try to get or do the thing.
For example, a businessman who always follows latest information or news, will
know what to do in his/her business. He will make a good decision to make a
transaction.
Another
reason, reading can give us pleasure. When we are tired, we read books, novel,
comics, newspaper, or magazine in some genres. It can make us relaxed.
And the
last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. For example, by
reading a book about Irian Jaya, we may feel we are really sitting in the
jungles not at home in our rooms.
From the
facts above, a nation-wide effective campaign of the importance of reading by
all components of the nation should be done, facilitated by the government, to
face the tighter competition. The world has forced globalization. Those people
with little knowledge will be left behind. To speed up the better change in
this country, a good reading habit is really important.
