READ, Dear!

     Jose Rizal is widely known for his heroism and intelligence. At age 3, he can recite the alphabet. By 5, he knew how to read and write. And at age 8, he already wrote a book. He is a polyglot of 22 languages, an ophthalmologist, sculptor, painter, educator, historian, playwright, and journalist. He achieved all of these within 35 years. Jose Rizal himself is a great example of the power and greatness of reading.

     Reading definitely broadens the knowledge and widens the vocabulary. Whether fiction or non-fiction, we are able to learn a lot of lessons that we can use in our every day lives. Reading helps us develop as individuals. When we read, we can gain more knowledge, and knowledge is the foundation of a grate future. But besides this, you will never be powerless or lonely ever again. Reading serves as our drivers and tour guides that allow and bring us to places that we never heard of. Reading gives us the ability to listen to the author's story, and smile, laugh, or maybe even cry with them. Reading may also be a portal that lets us visit the old times, the primordial era, and have a look at the past. Reading also opens our eyes to different rising issues and hot topics.

     Reading is truly powerful in its own way. Reading is the building block that assures a strong foundation for a better and successful future ahead of us. Come one, come all, and let us celebrate the Reading Month Celebration 2018. Channel your inner intellectual Rizal.

     PAGBASA: Susi sa Magandang Kinabukasan!
