Reading a book or any other material is certainly the hardest thing to do in this world. Very few people motivate themselves to read a book instead of watching TV or playing video game. But still some people find reading a most interesting thing to do; they can’t live without reading something every day.

Various researches have shown that people who read books, their career growth rate is higher than the non reader. Moreover, they have better managerial and people skills and have excellent decision making skills too. So, reading on regular basis is mandatory if you are willing to boost in your career path.

My focus through this article is on those who want to read books but can’t find themselves motivated or can’t continue reading after two or three lines. Developing a reading habit is quite difficult on initial stages, but once you develop this habit, you will find yourself restless until you grab a book and read something from it.

As I have mentioned already, developing a reading habit is difficult exercise, but it’s not impossible. The following few points can help a lot in this regard:

1. If you are a non book reader, buy your first non academic book of your area of interest. Like your first book could be an English grammar book.

2. Carry this book with yourself wherever you go. Even bring it while on picnic at the beach.

3. Read one or two paragraphs initially, increase it gradually to one page or two. After a certain period of time you will find more capability to read a book for hours.

4. Reading a book is one thing, but understanding what is written is more important than reading it. Hence, read it slowly and with understanding. If you don’t understand a sentence read it again and again. Take your time for reading a book there is no rush, because you need to extract the juice out of that particular book.
