R is for Reading

We learn to read in our childhood days and at a later stage we read to learn. Ok this is understandable, then why do we read even after our adulthood or our education is completed?

Is it really required after passing through such a stage of completion?

Yes, this kind of thinking stops people from reading,  please don't think that way and stop reading. In fact reading is fast diminishing in these age.  But note that, reading is one of the important activity in education.  It is a must, and should practice it very religiously.
