Being an avid reader myself, at one point i was sad, frustrated and angry for not being able to fully comprehend the text, criticise the author(of course i got many assignments to criticise articles i read) or at least have different views with the author.
I was really jealous of those who read and not only could explain to others but up to a point to make comparisons with other authors and have their own stand. In research, we called it synthesis.
And these days, being at a mature age 😝 (if you are eligible for voting means you already mature okayy hehe) , i enjoyed reading at a bigger scale. Oh, it has been always my passion. Never once leave me by the roadside 😂
Reason being, yes now i am able and understand better when reading and finally i could argue at some points with the author. It got me realised such things take time. It really does. You're not getting it overnight.
Recently, when i bought Setia Dengan Kebenaran by Ust Hasrizal, i was ready mentally to what i am getting myself into. And as expected, he does write about few things that differ from my personal view. That is an achievement 😄
Reading is a long journey.
And now, being a teacher allows me to share with more audience 😊
To give, you have to gain ❤
No shortcut, you have to go through the process.
