Reading One Hour Per Day
Author: Henrik Edberg
You are the architect of your own destiny; you are the master of your own fate; you are behind the steering wheel of your life.
----Brian Tracy
Here's one very simple yet potentially lifechanging advice from Brian Tracy. Cut down on the TV at night by just one hour. Instead, use that hour to read books that could improve your life.
If you're in sales, google or browse amazon for what other people think are the best and most useful books on improving your sales. This, of course, applies to all fields, not just the workrelated ones. Maybe you want to improve your health, become a more energetic person with a better looking body. Or maybe you want to improve your productivity, your relations or perhaps do some general personal development.
One hour a day is not much. But if you read for one hour a day on weekdays that's about 260 hours a year. That's a lot of books and loads of useful advice.
If applied, who knows what great things and feelings could come into your life this year. Also, all that cool information and useful advice will start to open up your mind. You will start to see more possibilites in your everyday life. You might think something like this:
1. I really don't have the money.
Answer: Visit your local library or search their database if they got a website. Or look for used copies in places like amazon.com or some more local alternative if you're outside of the US.
2. I really don't have the time.
Answer: Buy the books as audiobooks and listen to them in the car while driving to and from work. Or transfer them to your mp3-player and listen while riding your bike/bus to work or school.
So start browsing for recommendations on books or ask your friends and collegues. And turn off the TV a little earlier and start reading today. Brian Tracy once said: "Our mind is the most valuable possession that we have. The quality of our lives is, and will be, a reflection of how well we develop, train, and utilize this precious gift."

帖子的背景音乐是马友友演奏的马斯奈作曲的《沉思》。儒勒·马斯奈，法国作曲家。音乐具有个性，甜美伤感。代表作品为歌剧《泰伊思》，其幕间曲《沉思》流传极广。马友友是出色的大提琴演奏大师，是一个极具亲和力的人。欧美有一句流行语：“早安！马友友；晚安！罗斯特罗波维奇。”这颇能说明马友友与卡萨尔斯和罗斯特罗波维奇已形成大提琴演奏家前后三代的顶级人物。 马友友生在法国、长在美国。马友友一出生就受到家庭音乐氛围的熏陶，7岁那年，他随家人移居美国，后进入朱丽亚音乐学院，师从杰出大提琴家伦纳德·罗斯。马友友说：“我们活着的原因，就是要给下一代希望。当我们的生命完结时，要把经验留给年轻人，以利于年轻人去创造他们的社会、他们的生活。所以，我在音乐里面永远是强调认同，要寻找音乐的根。” (摘自网络）
