Speech on Books 4

"Hello Friends – Warm Good Evening to all of you! I hope you are having a great time here in this event. We couldn’t find much time to organize this event at a bigger level, but whatever we could do to make this event of books launch interesting for our members, we have done. The realization of our success through this event is evident on your happy faces. Children in particular are having a gala time because our main area of focus is to have a collection of children-centric books.

Other than introducing you all to the amazing world of books, I also wish to deliver a short speech on it. If I may ask what is a book? I know everyone must have their own definition of book. But if I were to give my definition then it would be something like this: A book is like a map that charts out the life of a man as well as life in nature. Each and every page of a good book is like a storehouse of the best and noblest thoughts propounded by man. In a library, you can easily come across such great books that carry in them mighty minds. However, not all books are great as there is literally a tsunami of books these days and as a reader it is your responsibility to identify between a good book and a bad one before you pick up anything for reading. This precautionary warning is necessary because if you may read bad books and come under its influence then you may also pick up unpleasant habits. As it is said that good books are one’s best companions and when you are choosy in terms of making friends, then why should you choose just any book for reading, which in fact will prove to be an everlasting companion for you in the intellectual journey. Thus, make a wise choice while selecting books.

I would want to reiterate the fact that books are our best companions, philosophers as well as guide. They inspire us and lift our soul when we feel low and dejected. They bring sunshine and ray of hope in our lives.

When we read a book, a whole new world is opened before us and we tend to keep ourselves in place of the writer and try to experience things from his/her point of view. Indulging in the habit of reading good books would certainly help in keeping our mind flexible and fit. Just like good and nutritious food helps keeping our body sound and healthy, good books likewise help keeping our mind nourished with good thoughts. So if you have never indulged in reading books, then start with this habit now and experience the change for good.

Everyone connects with the books in many ways as some find good books inspirational, some read books for gaining knowledge, some draw moral lessons out of them and some books even prove a turning point in people’s lives. Thus, we can connect with books in so many ways and evolve ourselves in a better person.

Thank You!
