Bookworms seem to have a book addiction. Once they start, they can’t stop. Once they start reading, their curiosity grows stronger. Reading while asking questions like “why?” and “how?” seems to sharpen their thinking skills. Focusing on output leads to better reading. Sharing information with others while outputting also helps organize your own knowledge. It’s fun when a solution emerges, no matter what form it takes. It’s also fun when reading and writing become an endless cycle.
It’s said that the god of writing never comes to those who don’t read. No matter how brilliant your ideas are, if you don’t write them down, they will be forgotten and irretrievable. Having information at hand while writing makes the process smoother. The time spent verifying information can also be a negative factor. Analog information, such as books and newspapers, is filtered by editors who narrow down the information. This information has a certain degree of reliability. With this at hand, you can immediately use it in your writing. Information on the internet and elsewhere is unfiltered and unchecked, requiring time to determine its accuracy. It’s important to have the tools to access the information you need when you need it. It’s also important to develop skills that don’t require energy to search for it.
The brain is uniquely activated when faced with something new or untried. Most desires are fulfilled by satisfying curiosity. The amygdala, a part of the brain, sorts all kinds of emotions, such as likes and dislikes, pleasant and unpleasant. Dopamine is a reward system neurotransmitter released by the amygdala. As you become smarter, this becomes pleasurable. Learning becomes more fun as you enjoy it, and your brain becomes more active. Dopamine improves memory and creates feelings of comfort, accomplishment, and motivation. By continuing to read and write, you gradually accumulate knowledge, and the ability to take it in and out becomes smoother. As the ability to take in and out knowledge becomes smoother, you will notice your perspective broadening and deepening. This will cause the release of dopamine, a substance that makes you feel happy. If this cycle continues, you will be able to live a happy life.
