Whoever we are, we want to stay young, so are men. It can be seen from the changing of man life pattern represented by metro sexual people who go to beauty salon frequently, just for cream bath, facial treatment or something related to body treatment.

Metro sexual people, such as women, have seen body treatment as human needs that must be done. The point is everybody wants to look good, healthy, fresh and fit. But, do you know that reading a book can also make us stay young?

A good book needs 20 years of the author’s experiences plus 2 until 3 years of compiling it to become a good book. If so, imagine that by reading a book, we can save 23 years of our life compared to experience it ourselves.
It still does not include calculating the stress level which can be eliminated because we don’t experience it ourselves.

As an illustration, the year 2001 was a golden moment for Hollywood movie industry with $8 billions invested for the industry. However, in the same country, people invested $25 billions each year to buy books and in 21st century, there have been 100.000 new books written each year.

On the contrary, the condition is different in third world countries. A Survey said that most people in third world countries spent their money to buy needs from the neck – down, such as clothes, pants, watches, handbags, rings, bracelet, shoes and so on.

We forget that part of the body which makes a lot of money is located above neck, which is brain. The things that we need for our brain, like books, motivational cassettes or attending self development seminars that should become our main needs are often forgotten.

You just choose, spending 23 years to get knowledge about something by experiencing yourself, or reading a book that may spend 2 till 3 weeks of your time and get lessons from author’s experiences, so it will increase your intelligence and emotional capability. After that, an increase in your income will follow as a result from an increase in your intelligence and emotional capability.
