This is one of my favorite Walt Disney quotes. A lot of quotes we see, no matter who they come from, tend to be just soundbites. But they're just comments with little actual meaning and left up to the reader to interpret.
But this quote leaves little to figure out. Reading is important. It's important all the way through school . . . and beyond. Anything you want to learn more about is probably in a book. The Internet can be a great resource, but it doesn't take the place of a great book.
Whether we're trying or not, learning never ends and we all need to feed that learning. I'm always talking about this with leaders. Things change, people change, cultures change, and there are a number of author's out there that keep up on these changes for us. All we need to do is pick up a book here and there.
Take a look at some of these author's writings and build your loot: Mark Miller, Bill Treasurer, Julie Winkle Giulioni, Lee Cockerell, Cheryl Bachelder, Ken Blanchard, Chris Edmonds, Kevin Eikenberry. Now get out there and pick up a book.

Books are a treasure and its too bad that so many kids nowadays can get through school without as much as cracking one. Books encourage us to achieve our dreams, to learn and to expand our knowledge. Here's a great motivational video on Drive and what makes some people great:
