Reading

                           
There are people who reads a lot, book after the book and so on, the only thing we can say about them is that they are well-read. Surely, these people have a big amount of "knowledge", but their brains absolutely unable to some extent learn,register and  classify the received material. These people completely are unaware about the separate the needed material, essential from unnecessary ones, and don`t know that essential material is needed to be hold in mind.
Reading is very important, and have purpose to help reader to receive the information in that field, in that direction, which is determined by his aptitude and his purposefulness. Reading gives tools to people, which are needed to him for his profession, independently, whether the main concern is about just surviving and maintaining the same situation or to reach higher positions in life.
On the other hand, reading should help people to form an overall view of the world. It is strongly recommended to not memorize all the stuff from book, all you need is just to highlight important points, make your own analysis. Your main aim is to build your own mosaic of your world-view. Thats why you need to properly analyze all the information you read, and skip all the points which are useless in your mosaic. In case if person is reading everything, without distinguishing the type of book, information and so on, occurrence of chaos inside his mind is possible. This type of reading is called "Mechanical reading". Often "Mechanical reading" is useless. In the field of development it is very essential, to classify literature that you are using to develop yourself. In most cases chaotic reading can not help you to properly use all of the information and knowledge that you get from that books.
So my recommendations to you, take care what you are reading about. All of these info from the Adolf Hitlers own autobiographical book. I thought these info will be helpful for you, since summer is the time to increase the amount of books you`ve read and to develop yourself.
