Education
I don't recall why, but by an early age, say age
9, I was a phenomenal reader of books, a habit that persisted all the way until college.
Reading expands one's mind immensely. It fires the imagination, demonstrates grammar,
teaches vocabulary, informs, challenges, helps one relax. In some cases it forces the mind to
concentrate, as to understand. It can help build a moral or ethical framework, and help oneself
form an individual worldview. Even an untraveled child, sitting at home, can be transported by
a book into any place or time. Fantasy and facts weave together, but the result is almost an
unmitigated improvement. If a bookworm grows up to be antisocial or worse, it is not because
of too much reading, but because something else was lacking in the education or caregiving.
Hands-on learning is another factor difficult to overrate. Imagine trying to learn to draw
from listening to a lecture
