60 | MENTORS MAGAZINE | EDITION 3I once heard someone say success leaves
clues. One of the ways that success leaves
clues for successful people is when a book
is written by or about a successful person.
Often many years of experience is
crammed into the pages of such a book.
Charlie Munger said “go to bed every night
a little wiser than you were when you got
up”.
Many people live their lives on autopilot
doing much the same thing every day and
never learning anything. And the same
people often wonder how it is that some
people can be so successful in life and they
may even think that it is because someone
else has been luckier than they have. How-
ever, when we look at the habits of suc-
cessful people it is often the case that
among other things, they are voracious
readers. For example:- Bill Gates reads one book per week.
- Mark Zuckerberg reads one book every
two weeks. - Elon musk is an avid reader.
- Warren Buffett spends about 80% of
his day reading. - Mark Cuban reads for more than three
hours every day. - Oprah Winfrey reads one book every
month.
