Imagine two people: Bunyau, who reads books regularly, and Bugau, who spends hours scrolling through social media. One day, they see a viral post claiming, “Drinking tuak (rice wine) makes you live 10 years longer!” Bugau instantly shares it with all his friends. Bunyau, on the other hand, remembers reading a book on food and beverage, so he double-checks the claim. Turns out, the post twisted the facts - 'tuak' has health benefits in smaller portion, but it’s definitely not going to make you live longer!
Books sharpen critical thinking. Studies show reading boosts comprehension, problem-solving, and decision-making, while social media encourages quick reactions. A Stanford study found frequent users struggle to separate facts from opinions. Fiction broadens perspectives, and nonfiction builds knowledge—like a workout for your brain! ...Meanwhile, Bugau keeps believing every clickbait headline he sees. Bunyau? He knows better. So if you want to be a sharper thinker and avoid getting tricked by bad information, put down your phone for a bit and pick up a book and READ 📖
THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
