Reading
« on: November 18, 2012, 07:53:57 am »
I  wanted to point out the importance of reading, and it doesn't matter what your career path is. I think that the most important thing in learning how to "hack", program, or anything else, is to read about it. Bucky can only make so many vids, and he leaves tons out, Besides, he learned from books.
Evilzone has a HUGE collection of e books, and I can't stress enough how important it is that you read as much as you can. It may take a while, but it's definitely worth it. Less than half way through many books I learn so many things, I almost feel like a new person.
I think I'm going to make a new slogan for myself, lol : With Google, and a library, you can become anything you want to be.
And believe, me guys, wishing your skills to magically improve will do nothing. In my opinion, if you go a day without learning, creating, or doing something active, you just wasted a day.
My point in posting this is that I want you guys to experience what I have through reading the e books on this site, it is really nothing to skip.
I myself love learning on all topics, and will probably purchase a nook soon, so I can read all these books on a more comfortable screen. I'm about to go into learning over drive, which I've actually already started doing... :D
Thanks to all who post e books and please keep it up. Read guys! :D

I completely understand what it is your saying.
A day without learning is a day wasted.
Almost everyday there is this point where im questioning myself exactly this.
;"Did I learn something?"

I dont read as much as I used to and due to my current job I am totally worn out at the end of the day.
Often I just surrender into playing some game or watching some series whilst I still have a strong desire to approach interesting material, do Sec stuff or code.
This upsets me to some extend, however blaiming myself never got me anywhere.
There is only so much one can do in one day.
I wish I had 48 hours in day.
Albert Einstein also had 24 hours so im probably just a fool.

I often wish that I never needed sleep ever. Just do stuff all through the night and never feel tired.

Whats great is that if one doesnt read any books, the only source of information is the media and the social environment which is sooo uhm objective.....
