ELIMU NA MTAZAMO: IFAHAMU SIRI ILIYOPO NDANI YA VITABU!

Umewahi kujiuliza ni sababu ipi inawafanya wana taaluma ya uandishi na wengine waandike vitabu? au kuna ujumbe gani ndani ya vitabu usioweza kutolewa kwa njia nyingine za habari na mawasiliano tunazozijua kama televisheni,video,majarida au magazeti?

______________

Leo naomba nikujuze kuhusu siri kubwa iliyopo ndani ya vitabu.Ukiwa ni msomaji wa vitabu au si msomaji fahamu hili:

Nitaanza kwa kumnukuu mwandishi maarufu wa vitabu Dr.Suess akianisha moja ya siri;

The more you read,the more things you will  know.The more you learn,the more places you’ll go.Kwa tafsiri ya lugha ya Kiswahili:

“kadri usomavyo vitabu utafahamu vitu vingi.Kadri usomavyo utatembelea sehemu nyingi.”

Pia kusoma ni sawa na kusikiliza na kuongea na sauti ya mtu mwenye maarifa aliye mbali.

Zifuatazo ni faida nyingine utakazopata ndani ya vitabu (faida zimeambatanishwa na nukuu maarufu-kama zilivyo kwa lugha ya Kiingereza zinazohusiana na kusoma vitabu):

1.Utakutana na watu maarufu wenye mafanikio, walioishi na wanaoishi duniani.Utajifunza mapitio yao ili na wewe ufanikiwe kimaisha

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.” ― James Baldwin
 

“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.”
― William Styron, Conversations with William Styron  

2.Ukianza kusoma kitabu kimoja utafahamishwa zaidi kuhusu vitabu vingine vizuri

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance With Dragons  

3.Utajulishwa mbinu nyingi za kuishi na watu vizuri…ukiziweka katika utendaji utafanikiwa kuishi na watu vizuri

 “Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its 

creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own 

 brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.” ― Albert Einstein

4.Utapata marafiki ambao kwako watakuwa kama kioo na utapenda kufuatilia maisha yao ili utimize matakwa yako ya kufanikiwa kimaisha.

“Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.” ― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind 

5.Utajulishwa vitu na masuala usiyoyafahamu hivyo kupata ufahamu na kuongeza mbinu za utendaji kazi.

“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.” ― Mortimer J. Adler

 

6.Kiafya utaondoa msongo wa mawazo na kuongeza upeo wako wa kufikiri

“Think before you speak. Read before you think.” 

― Fran Lebowitz, The Fran Lebowitz Reader  

7.Suala zima la kusoma kitabu huburudisha ubongo na kuufanya ufikiri vizuri

“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.” ― Voltaire

“Many people, myself among them, feel better at the mere sight of a book.”
― Jane Smiley, Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Novel

8.Ukisoma kitabu unaupa ubongo mazoezi ya kutafakari katika hali halisi. 

“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.”
― Joseph Addison 

 

Kama ulikuwa husomi vitabu anza kujisomea sasa ujionee siri hii ya ajabu.

Jielimishe Kwanza! imewahi kufanya mahojiano na watu mbali mbali-hasa wasomi kama wana utamaduni wa kusoma vitabu baada ya kuhitimu masomo yao.Kiuhalisia wengi hawasomi vitabu kutokana na visingizio tofauti tofauti.

Wengine wanasema wanapumzika kusoma vitabu baada ya kazi nzito waliyoifanya wakiwa masomoni.

Wengine wanasema wanaona uvivu kusoma vitabu,wengine wanasema hawana muda kabisa wa kusoma vitabu, yaani wametingwa na kazi.

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.” ― Stephen King

“No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.”
― Atwood H. Townsend

Wakati mwingine nitakuletea “mbinu za kuanza kusoma kitabu" na hatimaye kujikuta unapenda kusoma vitabu.
