BEING THE BEST VERSION #243
Nobody is perfect, but we all wish to be excellent at least. For everyone that chooses to be excellent, there are always prices to pay. So the question is can you pay the price. This was one of the conversations my mum held with me growing up which has made me evolve over time. But then there are things that are just so difficult for me to do, things I've been struggling with since I was a child and I wish I could change but for some reason, I can't just get it right no matter how hard I try. Although I have overcome a few of them, one of the main ones that is still a thorn in my flesh is reading.
I wouldn't say I hate reading, but then I have always found it difficult. I easily lose concentration when I try to read. It started with me not being able to read for an hour straight when I was little. My mum would often whoop me so hard because of that in the process of trying to make me concentrate but it never worked. When I entered the higher institution I had to find a way to manage it all. Seeing that I'm a really good listener, I tried to always be in class and recorded a lot of my lectures. I only read the important things while the not so important things flow naturally.
Today It's hard to read 10 minutes straight, I have a really low attention span and if you don't know how to write a copy, it will be really hard to get me to read. This is why I have a lot of audio books. Even on hive, I listen to posts instead of reading them. I would so much love to read for a long time. I usually envy people who that a lot, but unfortunately, it's something I find difficult even to date.

Perhaps finding the right subject to read about might help. Something you would enjoy; maybe fiction or perhaps something that you are passionate about. Start by reading for 5 minutes for a couple of days; then add a minute each day, and perhaps you will get to where you enjoy what you're reading.
Also, atmosphere is important. It's hard to concentrate in a busy and noisy environment.
Thanks for sharing; I wish you the best of luck, and have a lovely day!
Ummm this sounds like a nice idea. I guess I will try it out and see

I think using audio books is also good the most important thing is that you are getting the information either by reading or listening.
I love reading not school books though, I can read any length of books but these days it's been really hard for me to read because of how busy I have become, I have apps on my phone that read while I listen. Just like I earlier said the most important thing is getting the information and you are doing perfectly well with that
Yeah that's what motivated me to do audio, but sometimes I feel like an alien that can't sit to read
