You know what? There's an unbelievable truth: few people read. If you take the time to read a little bit more, you'll be ahead of 80% of the population. Let me share some questions to make us think.
- Have you ever read the complete instructions and manual for the Monopoly game? If you have, you'll know how it can significantly enhance your understanding of the game and even increase your chances of winning. That's the practical power of reading.
- Have you ever read the privacy policy that an app requires you to agree to? You may often find out that you're giving up quite a few rights.
- Have you ever read the ingredients in "organic" foods only to discover that some ingredients aren't organic? "Organic" has become more of a brand than a healthy criterion. Have you ever looked at the health label of a food that's supposed to be healthy, only to find out it has too much-added sugar and high calories per serving? It's essential to read the serving size too.
- Have you read the fine print of a consultant proposal outlining the assumptions and conditions? These assumptions are often the basis for their conclusion and are essential information.
