Everyone makes a plan by fixing their fixed budget according to their income, needs, expenses etc. In this plan, priority is given to various items, needs, shopping, entertainment facilities and basic needs. But it is often seen that we manage the money according to our various needs and requirements, but we are negligent in paying attention to it for our intellectual and mental development.
Whenever we shop in the market, we buy everything, cheap or expensive, but avoid buying good and life-giving books, magazines etc. It is often seen that a house or a building made for twenty to fifty lakh rupees is full of other material comforts, but books are not available in it.
The books, magazines, newspapers etc. present in the house are a reflection of the intellectual level of the family members, their thinking and their knowledge. There is no doubt that good books and magazines play an important role in intellectual well-being, intellectual flourishing and mental development. Good books and magazines also increase our vocabulary.
Also they make us intelligent citizens by making us more aware about the country, abroad, history, present times. We can also get a good position by reading good books and good magazines. Scholars also say that reading books is a great means of entertainment. Our great scholars, great men, intellectuals and patriots were connected with good books, good magazines, newspapers etc. in some way or the other.
While books entertain us, they also show us the way to solve even the biggest problems. Therefore, it is important that we give space to good books, good magazines and newspapers in our budget. If a small or big library is made at a designated place in the house, it would be like gold.
One should never think that reading books is a waste of time, because the love received from books and the time given to them sometimes gives us something in life.
