The good news is that you can still redeem yourself. It is not too late to like reading. You will find reading fun in no time. The trick is to develop reading habits. It is not easy at first but you will eventually like it. Just give books a chance. Here’s a start:
- Pick a book: The first thing that you should do is pick a book. There are many books out there, how do you pick something? You only have to examine your interests. For sure you are interested in something. Pick something the interests you. You are off to a good start.
- Practice reading: Now that you found the book that you are interested in, the next thing that you should do is set a goal. If you can stand reading for 15 minutes, that is a good start. Read for 15 minutes every day and when you are used to it, increase the time.
- Do not yield: There are times that reading is boring but you should not yield to the temptation of closing the book and discard it. You should not give up. No matter how hard it gets, you should never give up.
