[Please try your best to take the time to read all four paragraphs in this blog!]
Nowadays, it's become very common for people to resist
reading more than a few sentences! Even
the average employer or job agencies are spending less than 30 seconds to
"read" résumés. Have you
recently tried forwarding a one-page or multiple-page article to someone? If you did, there's a very good chance that they
only glimpsed at it, if that much. [I
just sent this article's link to several folks & most of them will cringe
& glimpse, too, when they see the four paragraphs.]
I believe that today's typical activities are to blame for
most of the lack of people taking time to read all of the important words that
were purposely written to be read. Knowledge is being lost and job seekers are
selecting the wrong employees sometimes. Unfortunately, more and more people
are addicted to playing online games, writing their minute-to-minute happenings
on Facebook, and/or texting each other. Ironically,
the latter two items (Facebook and texting) probably produce more typed words
and/or abbreviations to read than the articles they could have read all along. [My similar views on that are in my July 15,
2009 blog, "Does Anyone Talk Anymore" posted chronologically below
this blog.]
We have also gained very bad habits through a tool I find
myself using every day - Google.
Typically, Google has 2-4 lines of data displayed for each segmented
search result and most of the time, those 2-4 lines have become just the right
amount for our judgment. Also, the first
page of Google typically becomes the only page we'll read through without
strain! That kind of quick reading has habitually
become very acceptable to us.
I'd like to suggest for most folks to allocate some of their seemingly unaccounted Facebook or text-messaging time towards reading more diversified subjects as there's so much information out there to help each of us to enhance ourselves. After all, is it really important to constantly know every restaurant people go to repetitively or every burp that happened at their job? Don't we have enough of our own issues at home to deal with that really matter? By expanding some of our available time towards educating ourselves, we can gain worthy knowledge to share with our children or grandchildren. In summary, I advise for everyone to read knowledgeable data that can be used for the present and even passed onto our loved ones for the future.
