Some cliche on reading

I love reading. I think most of us make this announcement before, but strangely the statement above does not apply to every stage in our life. Probably because of the stress of studying for school subjects, outside reading sometimes seems so distant to students in high school. Sadly, adolescence is the most crucial time for character-forming and soul-exploring, and most of us simply lack the chance to open the door to self-understanding. That’s probably one of the reasons the many college students now do not have the motivation to make self study a life-long habit, which may prove to be more valuable than most of the knowledge we acquire in school education. That 's probably a cliche, but it's true.
