Biographies teach you priceless lessons and experiences that lessons you never taught in school.
Recently one of my friends asked why you read so many biographies; They thought if I am not building companies like SpaceX, Telsa, what kind of benefits have I got from these biographies. Although I have read very few memoirs, names are below: Bill Gates Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Sir Benjamin Franklin: America’s founding father.
There are no true stories in the world except for biographies
Ralph Emerson
Why do I read Biographies?
I am a voracious reader, and I read a lot. It gives me ultimate satisfaction personally and professionally. I read line by line; I do not skip a single line. I do not want to miss a single piece of information about that person.
Five years back, when I was bought my first Macbook, I was surprised by that product. MacBook is not about Slim and more battery life; they built the product beyond time. Then I decided to read the biography of Steve Jobs. after finishing biography, I sold my old blackberry phone I bought iPhone.
What is the Benefit of reading any biographies?
If you miss the opportunity to meet and interact with that legend, I hope everybody missed it. Supposed you want to read about the founding father of America, Sir Benjamin Franklin, or you want to meet Steve Jobs, but they are no more, even though if he would live you can not meet him unless you are not invested in his company. The Biography of Steve Jobs is the first biography I read many times. I am fond of Apple products.
Why do I read other Biographies?
I read Sir Benjamin Franklin because I want to inculcate his insane daily routine and his writing skill.
Elon Musk: How they think beyond the time he built the products sure we do not need the present time, but after a decade or by 2030, human beings rely on his products. He also has an insane daily routine; he worked 15 to 18 hours every day, but you and I hardly work 12 hours a day.
Conclusion:
I am a serial entrepreneur and love to read real-life-based lessons and stories. You can read any biography according to your profession and your personal goals. For example, if you are a music and art lover, you must read the biography of Leonardo da Vinci and Mozart.
