Reading is fundamental !!!!

Reading is fundamental !!!!

Top of the weekend my friends! Reading is fundamental! What comes to mind when you read that statement? For me it’s the PBS Television Program.

Actually, “Reading Is Fundamental” Inc. is the oldest and largest non-profit children's literacy organization in the United States. The goal is to nurture the habit of reading early in your childhood. Yet it hasn’t become our lifestyle now has it?I

How many times have you signed a document and are completely unaware of what you just agreed too? I see I'm not alone. (Continue reading)

Recently while getting my oil changed at the dealership. I was asked “what are you doing"?

"I’m reading the service contract". "I want to know what I’m agreeing too”. His response was somewhat shocking.... “I’ve never seen anybody do that before”.

Sad isn’t it? Especially since it’s not the first time, I’ve heard that comment. Brother man was actually "Shocked".

Let's face it, that stuff is too long!! True! However it's that way for a reason Baba Louie. We're probably being bamboozled my friend.

Now for the record, often times we are going to agree on the contract terms anyway. But shouldn’t you at least know what it says?

To quote my former boss Black Enterprise magazine publisher Earl G. Graves “There’s nothing more powerful than your signature in the business world”.

After all, how many downloaded software agreements, credit card applications, company employment documents and policies along with a plethora of other agreements that have gone unread for decades.

By the way, in a court of law the judge will ask “is this your signature”? You already know "the rest of the story".

Reading is fundamental!

If you can spend hours reading romance novels, sports magazines and various other periodicals on life love and the pursue of happiness. Why would you be so cavalier with the power of your signature? Without at least eyeing the details?

"Well everybody else is doing it”. I can hear my dear saintly mother now "Everybody don't live here".

The danger of delving in this reading less mindset completely disregards your value. Remember "There’s nothing more powerful than your signature in the business world”.

Now a word from our sponsor! It's important to remind you that "jeopardy" didn't begin as a game show. Financially speaking it can be your very up close and personal grotesque melodrama with the unhappy ending!

Now I'll end fundamentally speaking, please try to read more those documents in the days to come. Okay? Donut forget it!

Always on point Double D 👍🏼
