Noble thoughts, and high ideals, can be acquired from many good books. Teachers, elders and even well-read friends can help us make a selection of what books to read and what books to avoid.

In a similar manner, we, too, can discover and explore new places, new fields, new horizons by cultivating this habit of reading. Books are means through which we can recreate the world around us and analyse it with renewed vigour.
