Research and reading are not for the weak hence the creation of the library which is used to contain those that have a love for all things books. This is a culture that is sadly on the decline but for those keen on exercising their brains this is an aspect of life that is practically invaluable. Study is part and parcel of life because whether you are a chef or a meter maid there is no escape no matter how mundane the task.
Most remarkable leaders were known to be great readers and where the books may not have been available these leaders like Alexander The Great sat at the feet of the learned in order to learn a thing or two from them. Knowledge is indeed power and if anyone is in doubt try comparing people within the same age bracket that have been exposed to distinct modes of learning. The conversation formulated by the two individuals will not only be poles apart but their capacity to make conversation will also differ greatly.
Information analysis can not be escaped even while walking down the street and even though research has been over looked it is vital as is evident even from T.V shows. Case in point is the Amazing Race Asia. For contestants that take their time to do some investigation during the separate legs of the race their chances of surviving through each leg and actually winning are boosted as opposed to those that choose to wing it and fail.
This culture ought to be emphasized and if the thought of taking on a 600 page novel may seem a bit much there are always condensed e-books for the readers at heart to enjoy every single day.
Both aspects are as old as time and will always remain just as indispensable.
