Digg it UP - Why Do You Hate Reading?
What a big subject communication is. I'm even having to divide it up for my blog because it's so big.The reason I'm writing about it at all is because of it's huge importance in every area of our life, and if you're running a business, it's essential that your communication skills are excellent.When you're offering the same widget or service as hundreds of others, what is it that can make people buy from you? Is it that your prices are cheaper? If you're buying off the net, this might be the case, but if someone prefers to get something from a shop it may not
Speed Reading uses the RasterMaster as a visual-pacer to make use of our instinct – “the eyes-follow-a-moving-object” – and link to the law of ‘entrainment’,operating ‘in-sync’ – to speedup our reading-skills.
The aforementioned requires the prominent use of our peripheral-vision to triple our reading speed and add up to 40% to our learning strategies.

Regardless of all the statements and talk about what is the oldest profession in the world, drafting is the only profession that historically can be documented.Drafting can be defined as a descriptive way to deliver an idea through the use of illustrations and drawings that show in detail the process of turning the idea into reality. This process dates back to thousands of years ago when primitive drafters illustrated on the walls of caves the processes by which they lived, hunted, worshipped, and died.Since that time, this process has changed little except fo
They HATE Reading!
The smarter, richer and more successful on the economic ladder – the greater the number admit they hate reading.
A quarter-century of studying the learning-skills of executives and professionals, CEOs, chairmen of university-departments, attorneys and physicians - PhDs in industry and at the university – we conclude the more reading they do – the greater their dislike for this form of information-processing.
They complain it requires too much effort to obtain the required result of information. They prefer oral-reports, visual-presentations, and summaries by subordinates. “A good graph or flow-chart is worth ten-books,” was agreed to by 50-to-1 in the executive-suite.
Why?
They are ‘too-smart’ to operate at a snail’s pace to absorb the written word. They find their mind wanders while reading – (because they read so slowly). Instead of concentrating on the author’s ideas, these top executives and professionals are problem-solving sticky-situations, rehearsing presentations, and developing original-strategies to reach their goals.
The typical college graduate, executive and professional, the multimillionaire including the chairman-of-the-board – blow-off reading as a poor return-on-investment. Measured as a CBA – Cost-Benefit-Analysis – it fails the test.
How Do They Avoid Reading?
Great leaders, executives and successful professionals excel at grasping the Big-Picture – the salient-points, the gist and essence of an argument or idea. They track it when they ‘hear’ it – they capture it when they ‘see’ it.
Students at college and graduate-school are oblivious to the fact that professors and lecturers speak at 125 words per minutes, while they can take written-notes at only twenty-five words-per-minute. They play a no-win game. Using a tape recorder to retain the professor’s ideas makes sitting in class a complete waste-of-time.
Secret of Making Reading Payoff
When we add our ‘peripheral-vision’ instead of exclusively relying on our ‘foveal’ (sharpest), vision – we move from the ‘speed-of-speech’ (175-250 words-per-minute), to the ‘speed-of-sight’ 750-1200 words-per-minute.
Now for the first-time,we can read-and-remember information at a speed that creates personal ‘peak-performances’, puts us in-the-zone, and in-the-flow.
The opposite of ‘snailing’, using our foveal-vision (cones), to read – as we were taught in the third-grade – is adding to it – the ‘rods’ – the other photoreceptors forwarding visual information to our optic-nerve and brain.

FIRST STEP -- Set short-term, incremental goals. Work up to larger plans later. Never put yourself under the gun right from the get-go. If you do... discouragement will be right at your doorstep. You’ll quit! Remember your New Year's resolutions? Set incremental time frames. Short-range goals are very important. Begin the first month and increase a little bit each succeeding month. Don’t give up too early in the game.... give you

A professional degree in Juris Doctor relates to a higher grade of studies in law. With business houses expanding in size and the legal issues gaining higher importance for day to day working of large corporates, demand for Juris Doctor professionals has been increasing. As the business interacts more with the society and their other counterparts need to resolve legal matters emerge simultaneously. All this has given an impetus to students aiming for career in law field. But a purely law background without any corporate experience may not be well accepted by business indust

Interviewing is a two-way street. Obviously, the organization is using the interview process to evaluate you and your credentials to determine if you are a solid fit for the company’s needs. But the interview is equally important for the opportunity it affords you to evaluate how well the company and the position match what you are seeking. Formulating a series of well-thought out questions in advance of the interview will not only help you draw out pertinent information form the interviewer, but also demonstrate your intelligence and sincere interest in the position at

Since 1939 they are measurable using EEG, and today we use fMRIs, PET, and a SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography).
When we move from Beta Hz (cycles-per-second), to Alpha Hz or Theta Hz, our brain accesses ‘peak-performance’, creativity and analytical breakthroughs.
How?
Breathing exercises, chanting mantras, drumbeating, visual-stimuli, music and ritualistic dances can help move our brainwaves into different channels which help improve up to 40% - both memory and learning.
Why do you ‘secretly’ dislike reading?
You’re too-smart, and know your snailing-skills are a waste-of-time without learning to use your peripheral-vision. It is time to take action.
“We do not see things as they are – we see everything as we are.”
The Talmud
Don’t we often miss things in plain-sight? We are distracted by our state-of-mind, mood and attitude.
Have you ever reread a book, article or report and been amazed of the brilliant ideas you totally missed the first-time? Did the book change?
Would it improve your career if you added reading and remembering three (3) books, articles and reports in the time your peers could hardly finish one?
See ya,
