Reading (Why its the Most Important Key to Success)

Top Stories

The most important key to success, even more important than education in my opinion, is reading. The following reasons why I say it's more important than education are: First, because without the ability to read you cannot get an education. Next by learning to read, not only do you open yourself to an education, but you also open up all horizons which eventually lead to the American dream. In other-words, those who cannot read are likely to be uneducated and more easily controlled by tyrants, and less likely to succeed. Meaning that those who read are more likely to vote for freedom and independence than those who can't and do get more good paying jobs than those who don't. Second, when it comes to literacy, according to www.Phrasebase.com & the Census Bureau the U.S. has a 99% literacy rate which is one of best in the world. However, according to en.Wikipedia.org the United Nations Development Programme list Cuba as number one with 100% and Luxemburg tied with the U.S. in 17th place at 99%, while www.Phasebase.com has Luxemburg as no.1 with 100% and cuba as 23rd with 97% which I tend to believe. Last, as an avid reader and bookworm, I have "been" on pirate ships, Federation starships all over the galaxy, and saved lost monkeys from a train wreck during summer. The reason I've done ll this is because there is no other way to travel the universe or save damsels or animals in distress then to read a book. In conclusion, reading itself is the "starship" of the imagination that can take us to all points in the universe.
