Around, around new years I´m still in pretty really lost in this year,
and, I felt like while I had learned really a lot academically,
as a person I hadn't really learned a lot. I was still the same person that I wasn't pursuing any passion as in growing. I was just kind of, you know,
being me, and reacting to the world around me. And I was not happy with this
So I made a video about that and then
I also decided there's a new year's resolution
that I was gonna reading 52 books in 2018.
One book every week.
And I'm about twenty books in and
I'm gonna be real it's changing my life. When I was a kid
I was a big book worm, I read books all the time.
You know, Harry Potter, Series of Unfortunate Events,
Enders game that whole series, I just
I love them, and I can thank my mom for that because she is a published author
and, you know, this lasted
pretty much my entire elementary school career
and all of a sudden
I fell out of love. Its not anything that changed in,
me but I kind of blame
the school system for this.
okay ! and here is why : so the problem
with the way reading is
approached in school is that
it associates a reward with the act of reading.
that is, if you read a book, then you
do well on your presentation or on your test or on your essay.
It turns it into a transaction.
so now when you take away that reward of grades,
well, you are doing what feels like work! ugh,
because previously you exchanged it for a reward,
but now there is NO reward. So when it comes to
choosing between, yOu KnOw, reading or going
your phone or something else that is pleasurable
you are gonna choose going or your phone or doing something else.
because reading is a chore. It's work.
There is no reward for that work, so when I Started of
reading a book every week,
it was tough, it felt like a chore with no reward, duh,
because that how i've been trained
by school.
so i defined two issue is one motivation
which the fix honest doesn't matter the time
i just have to read a few books before
i started to think ,hey this is very impactful
this is really fun ,this is a kind of starting to
change my life of seeing the world a little bit different ,for last lesson
i'm learning ,i'm actually started to apply to my life
i should keep doing this
this is pretty fun.
and then kind of be keep of addictive
so them is came to the question
how do i find out the time
and what i learn is that
if i can cove* out
blocks of time through of a day
so little bit time i wake up
sometime before you go to bed
sometime i'll take a around after
eatting meal with my friend
i'll take a round for after ten-fifteen minutes
you known if i take a bus somewhere.
and i'll greeting on the bus. just finding those little moment
thought of the day , they really do act up , and you can
end up spending what an hour half, two hour every day
just like picking those ten minute here, fifteen there
and spending them reading at the post to being on your phone or whatever
so i twenty weeks and then
i feel like different* some of the twenty best week
in my life some of twenty week for as change the most *
dissaperson , i mean what i say
like feel like a different person and that is changing my life .
because the way what i've looking at the world is complete different
the way i look at myself and in the mirror is different
and that is really excited to me
beacause twenty weeks is not very long time
and a grand give things so where am i get another twenty weeks
and another twenty weeks, and another twenty weeks
that can keep this happened up keep this personal develop going
that is really excited to me
and then become
