@ladyfortuna1 @priyochatterjee1

the challenge wasnt too tough, many ppl can do it. However when he revealed the paragraphs from which the words came from, ppl are in shock cos the paragraphs were quite long. He said the audience has just read twice the speed of normal ppl. He believes everyone can speed read, and that its not that hard. He went on to summarize the importance of reading, which well, quite universal. He ends the talk with a challenge to the audience to read 52 books in a year.

@ladyfortuna1 @priyochatterjee1 you guys need translation? here's a summary. Well, firstly he stressed the importance of reading. He stated the fact that many adults nowadays dont really read and according to him, one of the biggest challenge for adult to read is that because we read slowly. He then gave us a few speed reading tips.

1. dont read out loud

2. dont read words per words

It the follows by the demonstration whereby he flashes words and challenge us to read them

Well I can't understand what he is saying, but wanted to add that I challenged myself to read a book a week for a year. I actually read about 60 books that year because I was obsessed with pursuing absolute knowledge. And I slowly studied them all with an eye for understanding as if I was investigating a mass murder. I guess I'm lucky to be in a menial job where I can actually do this. It's not easy to read Homer or Alighieri inside a week and some of those neuroanatomy books are pretty heavy.
