How do you deal with hunger of your stomach? Eat your favorite meal and keep quiet after that?    1     But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars.So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow.When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a full stop.This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”

    2     Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood.Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to get help from reading.

Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you.     3       Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas.If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

This is nothing but creativity.     4     Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.

So guys, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading.     5       Go and grab a book!

A.Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.
B.Also this makes a great contribution to your vocabulary.
C.Reading can help you make more friends as well.
D.Now what are you waiting for?
E.Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.
F.Why not do some reading while you are hungry?
G.The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.
