Do not read to learn.
Kids go school for reading and comeback exhausted. In many higher education institutions Ph.D candidates read and compile thesis based on how much they have learnt based from reading over say 3 or 5 years or may be more sometime with grant or without grant.
Often I have seen one trend the people who impress you own many books, think any name that come to your mind and check what the person read. You will find a coal business person may have books on literature. A mathematics professor may have books of archeology.
Talk to them. Often you will find the person attached with a certain profession can only speak or debate around that area only. Or discuss something random and you will be taken that certain area of work or passion.
Consider sports. Cricket. Jonty Rhodes best fielder and enjoys water sports.
The successful people are open, they learn from everywhere and apply those ideas in personal development and profession.
No matter how many money making classes you attend if you are not open to learn chances are you will end up celled. When you keep yourself into a shell that shell has limited capacity. You will get only what you have allowed to come in.
But when you are open unknowingly you are opening more streams of happiness. When you are happy and do work as its a daily task same like you brush teeth daily or eat food, you are opening limitless opportunities.
You work online, pretty fine, you don't like go Gym, that's also, but why not go a Gym today and just kill time.
Why not to pick an story book and read it for no reasons.
When you travel on an unknown road next time you know the road better. If fact you travel 5/6/10 times on that road and you never marked anything about it. But when an stranger ask about it you are able to guide.
Same happens with learning books, when you read without reason you learn unknowingly.
Learn to read, do not read to learn.
