Keeping
up-to-date, having the right information, and growing in
knowledge and awareness are more important than ever. Reading
is one of the primary ways to develop professional expertise
and leadership ability--and to stay competitive.
Many
persons are facing the new reality: Job security is an inner
factor based on inner competence. Part of that competence
has to do with one’s ability and skill in continually learning.
People who read not only develop
more competence in their current abilities but, equally
important, develop confidence in their ability to learn
and meet the demands of accelerated change.
Reading
helps people stay up-to-date and broaden their perspectives.
Reading also provides enjoyment. But if we do not remember
and apply what we read, it has little value. People therefore
must read widely and read deliberately for retention and
application.
To make
reading a part of their lives, people must make a commitment
to read every day, read
material that interests them, visit bookstores and libraries,
work at retention and application, discuss
with others what they are reading, and test what
they read against their own experience.
