1.
Failure doesn't lead to success.
Reflection does.
Everyone fails.
But not everyone succeeds.
Reflection covers that distance.
Books made me reflect on my failures, as I was able to see how others did the same.

There are 2 ways to learn from mistakes.
Read books.
Or make them yourselves.
While everyone's journey differs, mistakes tend to repeat themselves.
And books have been such a wonderful source of learning at the expense of other's mistakes.

It isn't always about hearing something new.
Sometimes the same thing you already knew, expressed in a single sentence, can change everything for you.
Books have done that for me.
They bring structure to your scattered thoughts and beliefs.

You are not the average of the 5 people you spend most time with.
You are the average of the 5 ideas you spend most time with.
Books allow you to pursue ideas/themes.
Go deep; form a bond.
Books shape your reality. The way you look at it.

Learning doesn't have to be expensive
A book costing less than a pizza, can literally change your life.
I have been saved by books, so often.
I have felt heard and understood, by books, so often.
I have known myself through books, so often.

I have learnt so much from books, that it's become some sort of life mission to spread the power of books, at a time when an entire generation is being raised to consume 60 seconds of a constantly scrolling feed!
