When I was younger, I didn’t know the exact value of reading. But as I grew older, I understood the importance of reading more than ever. I used live in a hostel when I was working faraway from my hometown. That is where most of my joyful memories belong and the place where I met with my most beautiful, four best friends. However, One of the girls from my hostel gave me a book called The Alchemist by author Paulo Coelho. The book was about a young man chasing his dreams. Since then, my passion for reading started to grow bigger. Sometimes I choose books over watching tv series, because reading gave me more pleasure than watching a series which was already filmed.
My reading habit started with Novels. My favourite author is Sidney Sheldon. There was a time that I was really addicted to read his novels. As times goes by, I enhance my readings to self improving topics. I used to choose novels with motivational stories and read lot of self improving articles, blogs and books. This is where my habit of reading turn out to be a blessing for my life. I started to see the positive in every aspect in my life.

Moreover, reading made me more knowledgeable and wise. Everything I read in my life, filled me with new information and improved my awareness about the world. There is a famous saying “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” by ― Dr. Seuss. When reading becomes a habits, we feel more craving for knowledge and it will enhance our self-confidence indeed.
After many years of reading, It becomes a habit of mine. My language skills grew further and my vocabulary expand more. I’m not a native English speaker but gradually I learn the language with the help of my readings. I explore more new words and it helps me to sharpen my spoken ability as well. Meanwhile, I started writing. As I read and learn more, I wanted to convert my thoughts and knowledge into words. And this is how I became a writer.
