there have been gazillions of people that have lived before all of us. There's no new problem you could have - with your parents, with school, with a bully. There's no new problem that someone hasn't already had and written about it in a book. Will Smith

It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it. Oscar Wilde

I remember the times when I used to curl on my bed and cry myself to sleep. I used to be a very slow reader in my early years. Elementary school could be a tormenting place for someone who could not catch up fast. I had a few friends who stood by my side, but it was a tough battle anyways.

It was my dad who told me about speed reading techniques, and it was one thing I desperately wanted to master. My dad came up with the idea of reading me books, at least an hour a day, before sleep. This way I learned to read very fast and after one year I overtook my peers, becoming the fastest reader in my class. Things stayed that way until high school.

Tell me, when was the last time you were learning how to read? It was the last time you learned how to read at all, correct? Kindergarten or elementary school - Dr. Seuss, Chronicles of Narnia, Hatchet or Robinson Crusoe all nice, fun and easy to read. Then comes high school and University biology, engineering, chemistry difficult terms, lots of material you dont want to read, but cant avoid it a big game changer. Moreover - after age of twelve, most people stop improving their reading speed. You would say that it should continually increase as youre developing, but in most cases thats not true. Its like you wanted to become a pro downhill biker with your silly 4-wheeled childrens bicycle. You need to change your gear.

Lots of reading during high school and the strategies I used to apply turned out insufficient. I had to come up with new ways and ideas. More than that, I knew lots of people who stayed awake late at night too many times because they took a long time to ace the lessons. As their reading speed was terribly slow, it was hard for them to cover the material and they ended up doing night sessions. Further, owing to the lack of proper sleep, they were exhausted and could not focus during the exams. Ultimately, they failed too many times and had to repeat classes. This has an overall cumulative effect and has the power to wreck the confidence of people as well. The amount of books you need to read to cover your syllabus can be whopping, especially if youre studying engineering, medicine, psychology, law etc.

When you are looking to graduate with good credits, it is important that you can cover as much knowledge as possible and REMEMBER it. If you are a slow reader, you will find it hard to take out that much time from your schedule. However, as a speed reader, you will be able to cover a lot of lessons in little time, and thus you can read even more and supplement your knowledge base.

Speed reading can help you get rid of all the above mentioned problems. I started doing my bit because I knew I had to master this art if I wanted to graduate at all. I wont exaggerate and tell you that it was an overnight change, because it was not. There were days when I thought I was making no progress, but then days over days, the layers of change kept piling. Today, I have an awesome count of words per minute and my life become much easier.

Not only were my classmates in awe of the changes I managed to make (I organized a short speed-reading course at my university, which was my first win-win type business), but at the same time, I can now save a lot of time too. I can read material in nearly half the time (or sometimes much faster) and devote the rest of the time either to my family or to my hobbies. One of the best aspects of speed reading is that not only do I read fast, but I can comprehend a lot quickly too. I love the positive changes speed reading has brought in my life.

The United States Air Force was the first one to get an insight into the speed reading techniques. They use the tachistoscope which is a device that was used to display an image only for a specified amount of time. Though the concept originated from this, it was not until the 1950s that speed reading was fully conceptualized.
