Historic Reading Posters - January, A Year of Good Reading Ahead Poster

ceo대표이사와 일반의 평균 급여자의 차이가 무었일 것 같습니까.

여러가지가 많이 있겠으나 여기 주목할만한 한가지 조사가 미국으로부터 나왔네요,

우리들의 정규교육은 직업을 갖도록 도와주고 자기개발을위한 자기교육은 행운을

불러 온다는 군요.대표이사와 일반급여자 간의주요 제1의 차이점은 일반의 평균

급여자는 일년에 책 한 권을 겨우 읽는 데 비해 ceo는 한 달에 4~5권을 읽는다는군요.

더욱 놀라운 사실은 일반급여자의 60%가 그 한 권의 책마져도 첫장만 본다는 군요.

이 조사는 이렇게 중요한 한 가지를 더 밝히는 군요. 포춘의 500대회사 ceo는 근무회사

일반 급여자보다 536배나더 벌어 들이고 또 이들ceo 급여의 하루치가 일반 급여의 일년치

금액과 맞먹는 데요, 프랭크린 벤자민의 어록도 하나 인용했네요. 주머니의 일 페니를

머리에 넣어면 두뇌는 주머니를 채워준다고요. 독서 책읽기는 수입과 직결 된다는 이 사실

머리에 넣으시고 가슴에 담으시고 책방으로 달려 오늘부터는 지갑엔 만달러짜리지폐가

쌓이고 은행 저축통장엔 숫자가 늘어만 가실길...

DOES SPEED READING HAVE A DIRECT CORRELATION TO INCOME? by Ron White

It has been said that standard education will get you jobs, and self-education will make you fortunes. This is no doubt true, and I believe that reading is a key skill necessary to self-education. Statistics say the average CEO in America reads 4-5 books per month while the average American reads 1 book per year! This same statistic goes on to say that 60% of those average American's don't even get past the first chapter in that one book! You may shrug your shoulders and say ? okay big deal ? so what? I am not a reader and why should that bother me?

Whether it should bother you or not is for you to decide. I simply share the facts with you. So here is another interesting fact: The average CEO of a fortune 500 company will earn an average of 536 times the salary of the average employee of the company he runs. This means that the employee of that company will work for a year and a half to equal the salary of the CEO for one day! What an extremely amazing and true statistic! Now, I am not going to suggest to you that the only difference between the CEO and the average employee is that the CEO reads a lot of books and the employee doesn't, however, I will suggest to you that is one of the major differences.
The statistics speak for themselves; the faster a person reads, the more books they will read and eventually the more money they will make over the course of their lives. Speed Reading is an extremely comprehensive program and covers everything from the very basics of speed reading to building your vocabulary and remembering what you read. The goal is not to simply read faster, the goal is to read faster coupled with retaining what you are reading.
Now, if it is true that knowledge and even reading has a correlation to income, and I believe that it does, then wouldn't it be logical to conclude that it is in our benefit and interest to learn to read faster.

So the good news is that you can learn to read faster. However, the more important factor here is that you can read faster WITH comprehension. You see if you simply read faster but do not comprehend or recall what you have read, then what have you gained? Not only is speed reading with comprehension and retention possible for the human mind, you'll be glad to learn it really is not a tough chore. The challenge is in learning the system. Because we know your brain is very systematic, then we can actually train it to read faster. Thomas Jefferson said that if we do everything that we are capable of we would truly astound ourselves.

The human mind is the greatest computer ever created. Nothing in the world will ever compare to it. It is a truly phenomenal machine that, when fed, will respond with results that will astound you. Benjamin Franklin told us that if we take the pennies from our pockets and put them in our heads, our heads will then fill up our pockets once again. This is so true. The person who invests time educating himself will reap a lifetime of extra knowledge, fun and income.

So let's do what Franklin suggested and spend our pennies on books. As we read these books faster and faster and gain more and more knowledge, we'll look back in amazement as our knowledge and quality of life increases. By increasing your reading speed, you are doing just one of the things you are capable of. My hope is that it will spark a fire in you to learn even more and in doing so develop and use more of your potential. Do this by continually learning and feeding the flames with information, knowledge and action.
