It is time to start reading. Oops, that sounds too much like a sound bit, but it is true. According to reports the average American reads less than a half hour, 30 minutes, a day, but spends 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) each day. That is according to the Department of Labor for the year 2006. How many of you have improved your situation by watching television?
Previously I asked people to start reading/researching the candidates not only whom they vote for, but also those who are running. Today I am asking that people read, read what interests you, read the classics, read what will improve you performance, etc.
Read books that:
Biographies, read about people you admire. Who in your field has set the standard that the company you work for or in your mind. What set these people apart from the rest, wouldn’t you want the same to happen to you?
What about the ideas, paradigms or cultures that your company is trying to foster? If you want to rise (climb, ascend, soar) in your company then you need to shine, to show that you want to be part of that culture.

Read books that:
- entertain and fire your imagination
- improve your position in life along with that of the family
- Biographies
