We celebrate a special event at a special place, which is our very own "Keats College". Hence, on this special occasion, I have a special message for special people like you.
Today, the 23rd of April, we are celebrating the 'World Book and Copyright Day' decreed by UNESCO in 1995 to promote the reading culture throughout the world.
I seize this opportunity to tell you that books create wonders. So far, no readers have ended up being losers. On the contrary, history bears testimony of how learned people have contributed to the progress made around the world. Opening a book is opening the door of wisdom as the more we read the more we learn.
However, it is an undeniable fact that today we are living in an era predominated by technology and we are all taken up by our busy schedule. Nevertheless, if you want to spare some time to reading, nobody and nothing can stop you. I am not asking you to read books straight away, but I would rather advise you to start by reading an article, a newspaper, or a magazine. Enjoy it and you will be surprised my friends. You will already open the door of wisdom.
Give it a try, start today. Read one word, one line, one paragraph, one page and I am sure you will realise how much you have missed so far.
I will end by quoting a line from our school anthem : "Books are my dear companion".
Remember friends, the sooner you choose your right companion, the brighter your future will be.
