How Do You See Reading? 02

motivational

How Do You See Reading is a critical question that can be seen as casual yet pregnant and worth asking.

Not being good at reading is forming a black man’s way of doing things (culture). It is a poor reading culture if people find reading as punishment, manual hard labour, non-exciting and non-energizing. A saying has it, “If you want to hide something from a black man, put it inside a book (text), he’ll not see it”.

WHY?

It is assumed most black men will not turn the pages of books to read them. Thinking to a black man has more audience than reading. As a public speaker, I can give you my research findings for free: As bad as poor thinking and bad reading are in our society, more think than read. It is getting worse in this millennium age: millennials don’t read as interested as to pass exams and then social media. The decadence started 40 years ago. How Do You See Reading? 02

WHY?

Many. In the course of my work as a public speaker, educator, and developer, it bothers me the virus that has eaten up African reading culture, the birthplace of civilization (Egypt).

I know you read books, publications, documents, signs, and even electronic stuff, but my emphasis for scope purposes here is textbooks, literature, novels, and formal publications.

CRITICAL FINDINGS

I deduced that what makes people not value reading are 1 to 14;

  1. Misplaced understanding that knowledge does not pay or matter – just get the money, power, and fame.
  2. The delusion that hardcopy books, paper, or booklet have lost their place to softcopy versions, hence people think that they can read softcopy not knowing that they can only flip, scan, surf, or browse it over but hardly read a page fully less of the page to page.
  3. Knowing the purpose of reading; the original intended intent of reading.
  4. The making of our world, the world of videos, photos, colors, and colour-shows, and less of messages and principles.…

14. Lack of speed reading.
