My grade 6 teacher
taught my entire class speed reading.
I was always a fast reader
but after that,
I was insatiable.
I read through our small town’s library
from beginning to end,
reading even the texts
on auto mechanics.
It was the best general education
a person could get
and it was absolutely free.
Ray Bradbury had a similar experience.
“I spent three days a week
for 10 years
educating myself in the public library,
and it’s better than college.
People should educate themselves –
you can get a complete education
for no money.
At the end of 10 years,
I had read every book in the library and
I’d written a thousand stories.”
An education doesn’t have to cost anything.
The only limit
to your knowledge
is you.
