With my usual hectic schedule, I would sometimes feel sad whenever I see on my bedside table some books I’ve set aside to read. They were books I’ve read before that I want to reacquaint myself with. Yes, some books are just too good to be kept hidden and not given the chance to be read again.
Another one on my list of must-finish-reading-these-books is about an inspiring priest and his social work for AIDS victims and the less fortunate kids in the slums of Bangkok. This book was a gift last Christmas 2008 yet and until now I still haven’t read past the middle of it.
Anyway, I took time for few days to finish reading a book about effective writing. It took me a lot of resolve to squeeze some reading time in my schedule. I realized that once you’re determined to include reading as part of your daily timetable, it becomes a habit. So I’m thankful I’ve made it through the last page, though I had to go back to page one again just to review some of the author’s principles.
I have a busy timetable these days but I’m planning to include at least reading one book a week in my activities. Now, that would mean giving up a bit of Facebook and some trivial surfing on the web.

Ideas are powerful. A train of thought can make or break, build or destroy. The choice is ours. Our ideas become our future. I believe that life’s meaningful lessons are best learned when shared with others.
