`Reading` is one of the most important hobbies any student or professional must try to develop over a prior of time. This is because reading is considered an important `orientation` for any career nurturing process.
When we consider reading as an `orientation`, it actually means `reading for analysis` and not just for the sake of entertainment. Reading for analysis means reading `in between the lines`.
Reading in between lines helps us in many ways. The first and the most important benefit is that we understand the larger canvass of any subject of our interest. Any subject is like an ocean, what we generally know is only `a tip of the ice berg`. Those who want to master any topic need to go to the roots of the subject to get exposed to the `beauty` lying at the bottom of the subject.
There are many books on `thoughts ` written by many as their own collections. These books can be used for analysis purpose. Here is an example of reading for analysis.
Thought: Every dark cloud has a silver lining around it.
Analysis:
1. Here cloud represents the environment or the situation in which we find ourselves, always.
2. Dark cloud represents negative environment or situation due to some reasons lets say a war ridden country where people find it very difficult to carry on their life. It can also be due to sudden death of an earning member and his / her children being young.
3. `Silver lining` shows `the ray of hope` in such negative situations. This means possibilities or opportunities to win over the given situations. Like there would be lot of construction opportunities in war ridden country paving way to lot of employment and there by economic development. (this no way means that for better economic development there must be wars !). In other example, the children will have to struggle to live better life and this struggle will make them stronger and creative.
The though connotes that life is surrounded by many black or dark clouds. These are basically challenges for human being. These challenges when taken up start showing us silver lining around the cloud and leads to a great life.
This is how, analysis help us to improve our ability to think larger than current level of projections. It creates a skill which is permanent. So, why to to try `reading for analysis` and promote it within families and society? It will definitely pay in long run.
