Thought of the Day
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go.”
— Dr. Seuss
Meaning: Reading opens doors that nothing else can. Every book, article or newspaper you finish adds something new to your mind. Those small additions slowly decide how far you can travel in life, in study and in work.
