Informed youths are better off

As the world evolves, we have moved from being illiterate to literate; from being uninformed to informed.

Young people who read novels and use computers are making their world a better place.

They cannot be compared to ordinary, unexposed youth.

Their thoughts and views are different as they see the world from a broader perspective and are more open-minded.

An enlightened youth’s world is enriched with knowledge and big dreams.

Some parents think novels ‘spoil’ their teenagers. That is not the case.

Novels inspire, inform and reflect what happens in the world.

Step into the informed world by picking up a good novel or visiting the Internet and get exposed to the real world.
