Ever since I can remember, I always had a book in my hand. It's probably a shocker to some of you, but I like to read. I've always have. Looking back, it was my mom that always encouraged me to read. Plus, the fact that I'm an only child played a role in finding activities that I can do alone.

My love for reading never faded away even when I came to the states. I didn't know English then, but I still tried to read. Ironic, I know. But I still tried to read.

Personally, I think you can learn so many things from books. One of my favorite authors, Tony Dungy, who was a former NFL head coach, has written several books. In one of his books, Mr Dungy mentions that everything is passionate about something. It might be sports. It might be schooling, or it might be something else. He writes that God gave us an ability to love. In other words, a passion is a gift from God. His point was that the gift can be seen as a tool. A tool is something that will make you become who you want to be. So you should fully take an advantage of that. That was his whole point.

Today, there are so many teenagers putting focus on wrong things. Some of them are legitimately good at what they do. But they always need to keep in mind that the gift is from God, and the gift can be seen a tool.

Perhaps a bit weird post, but I just needed to get this off my mind
