What you will learn
Most people are busy, but if you are working in a non-profit organization, time is more scarce than ever. At the same time, Oscar Wilde once said that “It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.” Simply put, what you put into your brain makes an enormous difference in who you are and who you will become. So why do so few people actually read books on a regular basis after they are finished their formal education and get launched in the “real world”?
If you are willing to put aside the excuse that you don’t have enough time, and learn how to double or even triple your reading speed, you might unlock a world of new possibilities for yourself.
Let’s get started!

I may not be a speed reader but my proof reading is pretty good. There is a missing letter “o” on the last word of this sentence. FYI: Speed readers often break the 1,000 words a minute mark. You can to.
Good catch – thanks!
You used the wrong form of the word “too” under the blue picture, it should be “too” as is also not “to.” I just thought you might want to know. Sounds interesting though.
Thanks for pointing that out – will fix it now!
