Speech on Books 3

"Good Morning Friends and Kids – Hope you all are doing well!

As you know we are planning a visit to the Book Fair this year, I considered it apt to discuss with you all about the importance of books. I am sure we all know that books play an important role in our lives and not only give us knowledge but plenty of joy also. However, still the interest of people in books is experiencing a decline and many public libraries seem to be lying vacant. What could be the reason behind it? Is it due to the hectic lifestyle of the people or relentless technological advancements which have enabled people to shift from print media to the digital world?

Whatever the case may be it is never a good thing to stay out of touch from the habit of reading books. The joy of reading from the hard copy is something else as we get to feel the presence of a book and turning one page after the other during a careful reading gives us a sense of achievement.

So books do play a very crucial role in our lives and often prove to be our best companion in the actual sense of the term. They give us abundant knowledge and joy without demanding anything in return. Not only do we learn a lot from them, but also transport us into a different world altogether and make us forget our sorrows that heavily bog down our souls.

Books are books either available on internet or written in a physical form. Let’s know what benefits we derive from reading books in a little more detail:

Good books help raise our standard of living 

They enhance our intellectual level and broaden our horizon. They lift our depressed soul and add colors to an otherwise dull life of ours.

A person should not indulge in reading bad books

Just like good books make us feel happy; there are bad books too that make our lives miserable. Bad books may misguide or mislead us. Even worse, they may even ruin our intellectual level. They also mar our interest in reading serious or good books. So we must refrain from reading bad books.

Books provide us encouragement when we feel crushed

Good books encourage us to work hard and remain courageous during tough times. They clear the darkness of obscurity and bring light of knowledge. Books needless to say hone our intellect and enrich our base of knowledge. Therefore, good books are our true companion.

Books are of various kinds

Books certainly are of various kinds as some deal with nature, some with spirituality, some with different subject matter, such as Science, Sociology, Geography, etc. Thus, we can choose books that interest us and derive an enjoyable experience while reading them.

In the end, all I want to say that is never quit reading books, but rather develop an everlasting connection with them.

Thank You!
