在你心中已空蕩蕩無一物
只有意志告訴你「堅持！」；
如果你與人交談，能保持風度，
伴王同行，能保持距離；
如果仇敵和好友都不害你；
如果所有人都指望你，卻無人苛求於你；
如果你花六十秒進行短程跑，
填滿那不可饒恕的一分鐘——
你就可以擁有一個世界，一切都是你的，
更重要的是，孩子，你是個頂天立地的人！

自史前時代起，人類就已有滿足自己需求的強烈慾望。無論是飢餓、避難或尋覓配偶，人類總是操縱著環境使其達到最利於自己的狀態。這或許解答了為什麼人類是地球上甚至是宇宙中最高級的現存物種。然而在進化的階梯上取得巨大飛躍之時，我們卻不知何故將一些常識和邏輯思維拋諸腦後了——我們忘記了自己已經停止了超前思維。
如果你餓了，你會怎麼做？抓起你最喜愛的美食飽餐一頓，然後靜靜地呆在那裡？而你的大腦也像你的胃，是會感到飢餓的，但它卻從不讓你知道，因為你讓它一直想著你的夢中情人、你最喜愛的明星和許多諸如此類的荒唐事。因此它只是默默地留意著你的需要卻從不讓自己成長。當思維恣意成長時，創造力就戛然而止。這也許就是為什麼我們有時會想「下一步該如何？」、「為什麼我想不到？」、「為什麼我總是碰到難題？」的原因吧。這也是我們的大腦總在考慮那些毫無價值的事情產生的後果。
事實上，思維的饑荒可以通過廣泛的閱讀來滿足。為什麼是閱讀而不是選擇看電視呢？因為自孩提時代起，讀書就已經是最具教育性的工具了。正如人生發展的其他方面一樣，我們不得不求助於閱讀。世界上有無數書籍可以回答你「如何做」的問題。讀書時不僅要用眼睛瀏覽文字，還要用腦去解讀、詮釋。書中有趣的部分就會像種子一樣貯存在你的腦海裡。將來你會不自覺地運用這粒種子引發新的想法。多次運用這粒種子將有助於你把許多事情聯繫起來，即使你做夢都想不到這些！這不是別的，就是創造力！你讀的書越多，你的心智就會前所未有地開闊。而且這還會大幅度地提高你的演講能力、豐富你的詞彙量。你很快就能用流利的英語或別的語言與你的朋友或別人交談，而且你再也不會在適合的場合缺少適合的詞語。
實際上，我的英語還是不夠流利，但只要我閱讀，我就會取得顯著進步。現在我仍在「自我提高」、為頭腦「解渴」的長路上跋涉。請加入到我的行列吧！通過閱讀、閱讀、再閱讀來為你的思想「喂食」。你還在等什麼？現在就拿起一本書讓我瞧瞧！
