So why only too few people are booklovers or bookworms? This article intends to reveal a simple fact in book-reading to help those having difficulties in book-reading and to unveil the values from book-reading. Humans are totally the same in that we, from cradle to grave, like "easiness" and "comfort", and indeed, ease and comfort are our desirable, everyday way of life. Moreover, humans have one last similarity in that we all "always want to better ourselves from one day to the next." So how can we achieve this goal?

Everyday, driving back and fourth between home and workplace or school, writing this article and trying to understand my professor and employer; all of these have brought me countless and different forms of difficulties, but I need sacrifice, industry and stamina to overcome these problems.

Reading book is like the journey on our everyday paths; starting with the easiness and as we proceed further or go deeper and deeper into our lives, difficulties then take their places.

Would you sacrifice to overcome the foregoing difficulties? For betterments, yes. But you do not need to sacrifice at all, should you do not want to be better than this second you are spending reading this article.
