Readers are leaders.

• Elon Musk grew up reading two books a day, according to his brother.

• Mark Zuckerberg aimed to read at least one book every two weeks.

• Bill Gates reads 50 books a year.

How does reading help your mind?

This dot represents an idea.

This line represents a connection between ideas.

Reading more books gives your brain more dots to work with.

Then it helps you to connect the dots.

The more connections you build, the more you understand the world around you.

So keep connecting those dots— keep reading books.

Many of these leaders (Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg) despite being extremely busy, set aside at least an hour a day (or five hours a week) over their entire career for activities often fell into three buckets: reading, reflection, and experimentation.
