The One Habit

Warren Buffett, the world's 3rd richest person, credits many of his great money decisions to his voracious reading habit. When asked about the key to his success, he pointed to a stack of books and said, "Read 500 pages like this every day. That's how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest."

He once remarked, "I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business." 

Here are a few other top business leaders who make reading a major part of their daily lifestyle:
1. Bill Gates reads about 50 books per year.
2. Mark Cuban reads more than 3 hours every day
3. Elon Musk is an avid reader. When asked how he learned to build rockets, he said, “I read books.”

According to Tom Corley, author of Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals, rich people read for self-improvement, education and success. Meanwhile, poor people read primarily to be entertained.

People who read regularly find it easier to make decisions, plan & prioritise; are more satisfied with life, happier, more likely to feel that the things they do in life are worthwhile; and have greater respect for & tolerance of others’ views.
