INTRODUCTION
Books have been the greatest source of knowledge. It is still used in schools and in all learning institutions. Francis Bacon has ever said “knowledge is power”. There is a sure power in knowledge. All great men and women are good readers. All great leaders are desperate readers. If you want to be a leader in any career in your life, you don’t have to escape knowledge. The wonderful thing about books is this; its knowledge is ordered. Authors don't rush and write books. They take obsessive focus on what they want people to read.
Don’t take books for granted. Reading is the habit like any other habit. You replace habit by habit. Habit of not reading books is replaced by habit of reading books so cultivate the habit of reading books daily.
THE POWER OF READING BOOKS!

Don't start with big books with hundred pages. Take some pamphlets, small journals, small books and determine to finish them.
3. READ DAILY
Make the habit of reading at least few pages daily. Before you retire to bed or after you wake up in the morning make a book your friend. Read few pages of your favorite book or topic.
4. ENGAGE YOUR MIND IN THINKING AFTER READING
Thinking is like digesting and assimilating what you have read. It will run diffuse into your subconscious mind. Those who think and meditate what they have been reading cannot forget easily. It will improve your memory.
5. START TO SHARE WHAT YOU KNOW
The more you tell others what you have been reading, you are self esteem start to rise. You seek to know a lot of things or going more deeper until you become a master in your field. Do not try to be selfish. Knowledge is for sharing.
