Drink Deeply From Good Books

Read that title again

Drink deeply

That means not just read

But listen

Listen to what your reading

Absorb

Ponder

Think on it

Every few years I stop buying new books and go back to the books that have affected me the most

I use the Olympic cycle

Every 4 years review

Down the line it will go down to 2 years

Olympics and The World Cup

And I re-read

Re-absorb

Re-learn

Take notes

What are the key learning from this book?

Share them with friends

Teach them

Bust most importantly live those leanings

Every time you go back to the book you will learn something new

They are always there waiting for you

Good books

There for you to reach out to

They always have time for you as long as you have time for them

But you must take advantage

You must be able to name the key takeaways from the books you read

What did you understand, what are you taking with you?

To drink deep from good books is to have mentors with some of the greatest minds to have walked the earth

To learn from the best and be with the best

And the truth is the best is few and far between

So when you find the best, visit them often

Converse

And

Drink Deeply
