If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t f*ck ’em. – John Waters
If women take up John Waters on this advice you’d be in trouble.
Read books.
A lot of books.
Fiction, non-fiction, whatever you enjoy.
Just read.
Why should you read?
There are too many answers to that question.
But that’s the wrong question.
You should ask, “Why shouldn’t I read?” and there are zero good answers to that question.
Reading gives you ideas.
Ideas = currency
Ideas = new solutions to old problems
Ideas = more ways to solve new problems.
Always flex the idea muscle.
