One thing that cross my mind when talk about reading. Mick Foley. Not as famous as Sidney Sheldon, J.K Rowling or even Mitch Albom. His book, 'Have A Nice Day: A Tale of Blood, Sweat and Sock' had really changed my life.

Foley is a wrestler. Big, ugly and scary too. But his writing, is one of the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. The book itself talk about life, relationship, hardwork and ethic.

From the book, I'd learned that wrestler is not always big, ugly and stupid. Most of them have big hearts. Spend their time and money for charity without the spotlight from publicity, work hard to please the employer (even some of them get $10 for one show) and attend colleges (graduates with good grades).

Throughout the book, one thing that always stayed in my mind is to work hard, be sincere and good thing will come by itself. That's why I'd always re-read the book even though it's 500 plus pages.

Everybody loves to read. It's same to me, but not all the people read good books. Most of them really like reading entertainment magazines, it's good too but not so much. It is much better have a kind of book like foreign country, political, economy, religion and the encyclopedia. It gives us more information and knowledge about what we have to know.

We're always read a newspaper to know what was happening around us. Like to find the information about the economical of our country, political and sociallty. We'll also find the advertisement about the job, letting shop and many kind of things.

We can addition our knowledge by reading the encyclopedia, which it cantains with the explanation and conclusion about the sea or spaces or environment .
