"The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."

Mark Twain

"Leadership expert, John C. Maxwell says, 'Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.' One of the outstanding leaders I know is Nate Parks. Whether he is taking his kids to an activity or waiting for the gas tank to fill, he always has a book with him. By having the reading material with him at all times, looking for chances to read a few more pages, Nate read many books a year. Mrs. Klein, my daughter's kindergarten teacher wisely said, 'Reading is critical because in the first three years of school, one learns to read. After that, one reads to learn.'"
