Read. read. read. read. read great books. read poetry, history, biography. read the novels that have stood the test of time. and read closely.
Book Biographies Tests
I didn't want to teach my kid how to read, so i used to read to him at night and close the book at the most interesting part. he said, “what happened then, daddy?” i said, “if you learn to read, you can find out. i'm too tired to read. i'll read to you tomorrow.” so, he had a need to want to learn how to read. don't teach children how to read. don't teach them mathematics. give them a reason to want it. in school, they're working ass-backwards.
Motivational Children Reading
Read. read every chance you get. read to keep growing. read history. read poetry. read for pure enjoyment. read a book called life on a little known planet. it's about insects. it will make you feel better.
Reading Book Feel Better
Kids don't say, "wait." they say, "wait up, hey wait up!" because when you're little, your life is up. the future is up. everything you want is up. "hold up. shut up! mum, i'll clean up. let me stay up!" parents, of course, are just the opposite. everything is down. "just calm down. slow down. come down here! sit down. put... that... down."
Kids Opposites Waiting
The calm. if there is god or something higher for me it is this. the calm. if there is something that will hold me when i need to hold it is this the calm. there is no anger, no rage, no fury. there is no want, no need, no desire. there is no hatred no shame no regret. there is no grief, no sadness, no depression. there is no fear. absolutely no fear. when one lives without fear, one cannot be broken. when one lives with fear one is broken before one begins to live.

Regret Cutting Thinking
I had a friend who worked at a hospice, and he said people in their final moments don't discuss their successes, awards or what books they wrote or what they accomplished. they only talk about their loves and their regrets, and i think that's very telling.
