The Discipline of Reading

Some things in life are optional, and some things in life are mandatory. Taking your next cruise to the Caribbean is optional, but building your very own personal investment library and becoming an excellent reader is mandatory. This no longer is something you can choose to do or not do. It is absolutely, positively essential and indispensable to your success as an investor!

Many people do not read very much. Fifty-eight percent of adult Americans never read a nonfiction book from cover to cover after they finish school. The average American reads less than one book per year. In fact, according to a Gallup study of the most successful men and women in America, reading one nonfiction book per month will put you into the top 1 percent of living Americans.

It takes regular, persistent reading and studying for you to improve, to move to the front of any field - and investing is no different - it is not optional!
