Consequences.

As we enter adulthood, the liabilities of our wrong decisions are gradually transferred from other people (parents, family, teachers) to ourselves.

We deal with the consequences of our actions. No one else carries the weight, but we alone.

That’s what adulting is

When we were kids, if we screwed up our finances and spent too much, our parents would be there to back us up. If we failed, our teachers would help us find a way to pass the exam. Parents would scold us, but they’d also help us find a solution - enrol us in tuition, for example.

But as we became adults, like babies that were weaned off breastmilk, we were taught, often the hard way, that we had to solve our own shit.
If we made a wrong investment decision, no one would pay off the debt. If we screwed up our relationship, friends wldn’t be able to save it

#NuriaStore Tips,

HOW DID I BECOME A READER

here’s a thread on how to develop a good reading culture.

Feel free to add some that can be adapted.

1. You’ll need to realize that a good reading culture is about being disciplined. You can’t build it over night. Because it’s a discipline, it’ll be hard and there are many temptations. But build it until it’s second nature.

2. Understand the book you‘re reading. Knowing what you’re about to read and why it was written affects your attitude towards the book and will determine how you respond to it. So read the preface or any preceding notes. A good appreciation for the book will go a long way.

Create a reading space

Have a designated reading space in the house for keeping all reading materials-- it could be a bookshelf in a corner or a table in the kid's room. The idea is to make books and other reading materials accessible for children at home.

Make reading a daily habit

Just like eating healthy food and exercising daily are essential for staying fit, reading regularly is important for keeping the mind sharp. And so, parents should make reading daily a part of their and their child's routine.
