Books as Life-Long Companions

We all started to learn the moment we were born. Besides using our five senses, much of our learning are done through the reading of books. Reading is definitely a worthwhile hobby to keep as it can start as early as three years old and continued till the end of our life journey!

Hence, an avid reader is most probably also a book lover and collector. A showcase of book titles at home is also likely to be one of the most valued and treasured life possessions of any serious reader. When one feels lonely and helpless at times, these books can well be the best companions they can find as they not only can offer solace to the sad soul, but they also allow one to vent their frustrations with absolutely no complaints.

To me, I have regarded my book collections as my life-long companions as most of them have been with me for decades and I am still reading them, over and over again. Believe it or not, each new read of the same favourite book never fail to miraculously offer new insights and a different perspective of the same issue to me!



I have recently tried reading eBooks and am totally amazed by the many advantages it has over conventional printed books such as the quick updates and portability conveniences. However, being a technical gadget, it somehow just simply does not come with the emotional attachment I can develop with printed books. As such, like it or not, I will surely continue to buy and read printed books for many years to come!

The printed books in my life-long collection can definitely form part of my estate when my life journey reaches its destination. These precious books I have collected all my life can then be passed on to future generations for them to continue learning from the wisdom of their ancestors.
