This is the time for you to go, Hey, I'm gonna try that thing that I just read about.

One of the last pages is December twenty second in the Daily Stoker quotes Seneca from
voice-verified
His letters.
voice-verified
He says, It is disgraceful for an old person or one inside of old age to only have the knowledge carried in their notebooks.
voice-verified
Zeno said this.
voice-verified
He says, What do you say?
voice-verified
Cleanthes said that.
voice-verified
What do you say?
voice-verified
How long will you be compelled by the claims of another?
voice-verified
Take charge and stake your own claim.
voice-verified
Something posterity will carry in its notebook.
voice-verified
So I I hope reading books encourages you to write and to write better.
voice-verified
Not everyone needs to write a book, but you could write an article, you could write a post on social media, you could write a memo to your team, you could write letters to your own children, you could write a note to your spouse.
voice-verified
The point is to take the things that you have learned, to put them into practice, to learn from that, and then to synthesize all of this into your own knowledge, which hopefully you communicate and pass on to the next generation so they can learn from
voice-verified
From your experiences as well as their own.
voice-verified
One thing that's really important to remember as a reader is that you shouldn't just be reading books that you agree with and you shouldn't just be reading about things that you know about.
voice-verified
Right?
voice-verified
Books should be doors, not mirrors, it's been said, right?
voice-verified
It should be a window into another world, into somebody else's experience, not just reflecting back to you what you want to see or what you already contain within yourself.
