Reading helps to inspire change and allows us to become more empathetic.
My engineering friends, people won’t remember you simply by what you did to implement a break through technology, but they will remember you more by how we treated each other while implementing those transformations. I have come a long way to bring that change in me and certainly constant reading has played a major role. Change and Empathy both are important.
I have made lot of mistakes and sometimes I still do. However, I constantly keep trying to bring that change in me.
I think reading is one of the efficient ways by which we can bring that change in ourselves.
In AI age where constant reskilling is the only way to achieve high growth, similarly, constant reading is the only way to get your mind working across different areas and to broaden your imagination.
