The Well Of Your Mind

Wisdom is the well of your mind. Fill its waters with good books, and you will be rewarded a thousand times over. It is like Aladdin's lamp: reading the contents of a good book is like rubbing a magical lamp and making a wish. This new found knowledge that you discover will flow through you, enriching your mind and life in the process.

Perhaps you may be wondering what the great books of the world are. Often referred to as literature, these books will stimulate your mind and help you to grow as a person.  There are many lists available online and in print that identify the great books of the world. Take advantage of this and find a list. A good selection of classics should have titles from both Eastern and Western civilization. Here are two of my favorite online sites:

1. Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/
2. LibriVox: https://librivox.org/

These two sites will be a great introduction to the books available for you to read. Despite our nationalities, we are all human and share a common heritage. Knowledge should be free--to be grasped by anyone willing to pick up a book and read. Do not let these gold coins escape your grasp; for they are the friend of your mind, a life long tool for you to grow and develop as a person. Read, and become wise.
