The Lost Magic of Reading
“Deep reading is not something that happens passively; it’s an active exercise.”
It brings significant benefits that, unfortunately, today’s generation may not fully understand. Consistent reading dramatically enhances your memory, improves your vocabulary and word power, and adds depth and nuance to your writing and speaking.
“Sadly, this kind of magical element is being forgotten.” Typing quickly on social media and chat applications simply will not deliver these improvements. The result is that literacy skills are declining—everyone is becoming less grammatically correct. Isn’t this a truly sad trend to witness?
A Final Appeal: The Parent’s Responsibility
“This is a crucial point that parents cannot afford to forget.”
If we continue on this path, our children will become a part of this “forgotten kingdom” of basic skills. This is already happening everywhere. Simply ask any young person to write a formal leave application or a professional letter; sadly, many are unable to do it.
“While the world grows exponentially in technology, we are becoming ideologically stagnant.”
Only a small percentage of people truly grasp the meaning and advantage of deep reading, and they are the ones who excel. Is this the future you envision for your child—one where they are digitally fluent but functionally limited?
Parents must understand and champion the importance of deep literacy now.
The Elite Mindset: Breaking the Cycle
If we analyze the most successful and influential people, what do they teach their children?
It’s not just about academics. They focus on financial literacy, the value of arts and sports, a push toward truly innovative thinking, and, most importantly, instilling a never-be-a-slave mindset.
Were all these things taught to you by your parents?
Are you currently teaching them to your children?
Probably not. The reason is that our mindset is often stuck in an atmosphere that promotes subservience: “Do a job, and only a job.”
We are often culturally conditioned to believe our life and time are the property of the corporate world.
To break free from this stress-inducing life, we must first change our mental programming from a “worker” to a “creator” or “owner.”
Defining True Intelligence: Beyond Education
True “elite” status is not defined by being highly educated, wealthy, or high-class. It isn’t about knowing everything.
Instead, it’s about people who genuinely understand things, who never judge others, and who do not attempt to put others down.
This is simply basic common sense and civic decency.
This kind of maturity is the starting point for all growth. Once you possess this foundational humility and open-mindedness, you will then be able to grasp the true, complex pattern of deep reading and learning.
It is not just a casual thought; this ethical and intellectual humility is the necessary beginning before you can truly benefit from any form of study.
The Enduring Power of the Written Word
These essential facts about human nature and well-being aren’t new; they are often available in ancient texts that many of us simply don’t access anymore.
Our ancestors understood something critical about passing on wisdom: how a human being should live—whether in the past, present, or future—is best preserved not in a fleeting video or spoken word, but in the permanence of text.
That is why our ancestors wrote books, carved detailed texts, and inscribed symbols on walls: to safely pass messages to upcoming generations.
When everything else vanishes, our knowledge will remain.
In earlier times, recording everything in written form was mandatory or a deeply ingrained habit. Now? We record almost nothing in structured text; we rely on mountains of photos and videos.
But even these digital archives will likely vanish someday. Only the structured, written word is truly safe.
Reading: The Focus and Knowledge Advantage
Reading books is not just a chore; it is a critical investment.
Consistent reading directly enhances your ability to focus, improves your imagination, and helps you consciously avoid daily distractions.
This is precisely why highly successful individuals and multi-millionaires read extensively—they do so to constantly urge and acquire new knowledge.
They have understood a simple truth: being truly knowledgeable is a rare and valuable asset in today’s world.
If this practice is so effective for the elite, why would you choose not to join them?
