Donald Miller seems to concur with yesterday's post:
I don't think there is any substitute for a college education, and I regret not attending myself, but a diligent commitment to reading will get you far. All leaders read, and there are almost no exceptions.
He went on to say this, which I like quite a bit:
I just think of the mind as a muscle, and by working it, we get more enjoyment out of life.
And, humor about an otherwise quite serious problem is quite...winsome, no?
The latest statistic is that the average American watches 1,456 hours of television a year but only reads three books. So if it's true that readers are leaders, and the more you read the further you advance, then there isn't a lot of competition.
