Reading Useless without Action

If you want to get value out of a
book, however, don't lean on it as
though you were cripple. A book
can't take you by sheer force and
project you into good job, or put
more money in your pay envelope, or
make you industrious or patient when
you are otherwise. All you can expect
of a book is that it tells you how these
things can be accomplished. The real
job lies with you.
