Increase Your Reading Speed

When you read aloud, modulate the pitch of your voice and lower the excitement. Reading is no race to finish and here patience is the key. Improve your reading skills, by practicing daily for fifteen minutes and slowly include more time. This should be done preferably before sleep time.

Writing benefits your thought process as reading increases your grasping power. Make sure to write a few lines to enumerate your feelings, aspirations or about a trip to the mall. Reading what you have written will build your confidence. Run through brochures, leaflets and understand the pattern adopted. Meanings of certain words are difficult to decipher, learning new words is a life long process and hence the effort is essential.

Examining Happiness

“What is happiness?” a young child asked. For a moment I was a bit taken aback. Then I thought, ‘Happiness’ is a really complicated sensory thing - a bit like an onion.
