Smartphone or Book for Leisure? - Daily Life Happiness

It is 6.30 pm of Mid June. The weather is really hot and humid feels more discomfort. I returned home from my office completing eight hours hectic desk job in busy branch of a commercial bank.

After taking shower generally I like to browse television set for todays UpToDate news. Then I open any page of a book and start reading with a cup of tea or evening snack. But one or more day I take my smartphone scrolling social media platform like facebook, x-handle, Instagram bla bla bla. After 60 to 90 minutes I surprisingly found that I am scrolling just with an absent mind. Basically I am not involved what is shown in front my eyes. But still I am scrolling. Totally an unproductive job, pushing the photos, videos, and writings upward with my thumb finger.

But other those days I open a book to read, I found some different internal conditions in my body and mind. At the time of reading an image is created in my mind based on the lines and words I read. My brain becomes enable to formulate various views and ideas on different perspective. Whereas spending time with my smartphone has no such effect on my brain.

At the reading of a travel book or a novel I can make a picturesque scenery of the described place or people's conversation by its lines and words, which is more colorful and more vivid than the videos shown in small smartphone display or big television screen. This imagination ability enhance the brain power- memory and strengthen the connection between the neurons of my brain.

Here I found some extraordinary benefits of reading. Such as

-it develops my vocabulary,

-enhance my ability to focus in any matter

-various types of books give me new ideas and problem solving skill

-reading stimulates my creativity and creative thinking

-a great source of relaxation after tough whole day job

-it makes me more interesting to others for my various ideas and thought

-overall reading habit enhance my knowledge, communication skill and social empathy.

So, stop scrolling your smartphone from miles to miles. Take a book and begin to read.

Enter into a wonderful world of knowledge, beauty and love.

Be Happy. Stay Happy.

Happy Reading.
