Drop Everything And Read [D.E.A.R.] On 12th April, 2008
April 10, 2008 – 7:07 pmHave you heard of this special day called D.E.A.R. which stands for Drop Everything And Read? It’s on 12th April. I don’t know about you but for a book lover, I can hardly find time to read even a page anymore. I used to read a few thousand books yearly but since I left school, I don’t have time anymore and even if I do have the few spare minutes at the end of the day, I would be too tired and end up falling asleep with an open book.
This D.E.A.R., I plan to set aside a little time, perhaps 30 minutes or so, to do a little reading. This would be quality time so I am planning to maybe read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, sort of like a self-help book that tells us that we all have the power in us to do whatever we want and it is within our power to achieve our goals.
My friend, Paul, has always told me that I could be whatever I want to be. I am smart enough to create opportunities for myself to achieve my dreams. He has told me that I should start planning my future by drawing up a short 5-year plan and work towards it. Well, I guess I just needed to see this in written text!
