We are hungered for entertainment. Our culture consumes anything that is entertaining. Movies, Music, Internet, Games…we just love them. And it is easy to spend an exuberant amount of money on our entertainment.
However, one thing I never understood was…how come people don’t like books? Now, I know the average person dabbles in em, but I am talking about a person who likes books as much as a movie. Think of how much time you spent watching tv this week, or last week. Okay now ask yourself how much time you spent reading? If you are a typical American, they do not even compare.
Here’s the funny thing…Libraries offer books for FREE. So not only do we reject reading books, but people are literally GIVING THEM TO US and we still would rather see an $8 movie or buy a $50 game.
It’s just fascinating. The average millionaire reads 1 non-fiction book a month. Not that our goal is this but I figured it is worth mentioning.
So my tip of the day is as follows:Use the Library
The library is awesome. It has all the books that I love (more importantly the books on tape that go with it), tons of movies that I love, and it is all free which I really love. I suggest that we take advantage of the opportunity known as the Library. Not only is it entertaining and free but you might also learn something.
