How I started reading books

Most my friends wonder what I do in my 90 minutes ride to college from New Buspark. Dear friend, I read books. There have been many influential book which greatly influenced what I believe and how I behave. I tried to spend atleast 2 hour a day reading book that will improve my life in some way.

When I first started my college at NCIT, I don’t know what to do those 180 minute bus ride from home-college-home. It was a misery situation looking at the same driver and conductor of Mahanagar Yatayat. Then some time between december 2016, I got a burning desire to start reading book. I cannot afford buying books, So i started downloading pdf and by that point my affair with books started.

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Most famous person I found credited their success to this book. It was hard time finishing the book but it changes how I believe. At first this book seems little crazy, the author doesn't follow any science. He has got his own science but it is not a bad investment of time reading the book.
