**************
My take home message:
I wonder why Bill Gates reads 50+ books every year. Why? Reading is for getting 眼光、灵活和气度 - sharpen his instinct.
眼光、灵活和气度: You can't do if you don't know - broadly reading helps you know more beyond your physical experience - learn from others.
眼光: Visualize what beyond a visualable distance. Bill Gates trusts his own instinct for personal computer market (his dream for everyone got a computer when the first computer occupied a two-story building as shown in Boston Computer museum ).
灵活: Reading broadly helps you learn from the mistakes and successes of others. Instead of just diving in; relying on your guts and motivation to lead you, reading gives you a mental map to bypass rookie mistakes people make in life.
气度: Reading broadly helps you learn to be thick-skinned, thinking of other's criticism bricks as your own building blocks (Take the bricks thrown to you to construct your own buildings).
All for one and one for all in life for better your 眼光、灵活和气度 - homework for a life-time.
Billionaire Mark Cuban insists on reading 3 hours a day, while Bill Gates reads for 1 hour as part of his bedtime routine. J.K Rowling, the first ever billionaire author, read the first ever billionaire author, read ‘absolutely anything’ as a child. President Obama, Sheryl Sandberg, and Albert Einstein are book lovers, too.
If you want to be like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, adopt their reading habit -
