People Don't Read

Ok, so I have to confess that today, I did not read. I always talk about how frustrating it is when you send an email to only receive back only half or nothing at all of what was asked. I had homework today and scanned through so I would have enough time to complete it, but then I missed a few parts and ended up having to go back.

Are we that occupied with life and work, that we forget to read? I am not just talking about reading an email, instructions, or a book, but also reading others expressions and emotions. We get so caught up that we didn't realize our co-worker or friend has been having some personal difficulties and was screaming for help. We have to read, it is so important to stop and think about others besides ourselves. People need our help.

Reading helps to understand what to do or when to do. It teaches us new words or new situations. It provides answers to our questions. So please read first. It is annoying when you have already been told something but you were so occupied or lazy that you didn't take the time to read and now you are wasting the time of others.

Just something that happens everyday I guess...
