This took me back to my childhood. I too, used to read just about everywhere, car rides, dinner table, even toilet.. But these days I read less and less, and yes that is because of screens.. Thank you Luke for reminding us, you are such an incredible young man. Hopefully my kids will love reading just as much

Reading is Boring
What an absolutely remarkable and inspiring boy! At just 9 years old, he's showcasing wisdom and passion beyond his years. Luke's perspective on the power and importance of reading is truly enlightening. It's incredible to see such a young mind advocating for the value of books in today's society. Luke eloquently expresses how great readers become great writers, communicators, and persuaders, ultimately contributing to the creation of good societies. His enthusiasm for reading shines through as he shares his personal adventures through various books, from classics like 'Winnetou' to beloved series like 'Harry Potter' and 'The Unwanteds'. I love how Luke describes reading as "love in action," highlighting the endless positives it brings to his life, from impressive vocabulary to the joy of getting lost in a good story. His creative anecdotes about hiding behind flower pots and reading everywhere are both hilarious and endearing. It's refreshing to hear Luke's call to the young generation to hold on to the art of reading amidst the distractions of modern technology. He reminds us that books can take us on adventures, introduce us to new worlds and people, and ultimately enrich our lives in countless ways. Kudos to Luke Bakic for delivering such an impactful talk! He is certainly a bright, intelligent, and passionate advocate for the magic of reading. Here's to hoping his message inspires many others, young and old, to pick up a book and embark on their own incredible adventures. 📚✨
As a reading instructor in an elementary school, I wholeheartedly agree! Reading develops the brain in so many ways. Keep it up!

Luke, you make the world a better place. Keep teaching all of us what's important & what things are wasting our time. I love reading a real book, holding it in my hands and anticipating the surprise that appears as I turn the page. I've never felt alone because I always have a good book to read.

"Reading is live in action."❤ So true!
Perfect example of being ageless. It doesn't matter how old you are because it's knowledge which makes you an experienced person not just your age. And it's only possible if you love book reading
Love his honesty and courage to come out like a lion. ❤️

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others.. As an investor, you should've known by now nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally i had to reach out to a stock specialist for guidance which is how i was able to grow my losing account back to $35k , withdraw my profile right before the corrections and now I'm buying again..

Reading a book is like downloading a personal coach, a sage, or a confidant to your brain. You get to absorb the trials, triumphs, and insights of characters and authors who have already traversed the ups and downs of life. So when you face your own challenges, you'll have those downloaded stories and wisdom at your disposal, making your path a little easier to navigate.
what if you are doing online school and you have to online
Reading and communicating is key.
Because of school we watch that so much, my head is banging in the floor. Some apps and games are important for us. Many peoples dont stay 6 hours like he said. Yes it's makes our vacabulary so good. Thank you berry🍓 much!. Thie video was recommended by my class teacher. Bye
Mann this is so good 💯 seriously helped in school
Very impressed on this young man. I agree with this video, the youth this generation involves with all this social media and video games. Students lack the knowledge of reading skills because of today’s technology. I’m not saying technology is bad because it can help but in an educational way as well. Picking up a book that can have an interest of choice can really make a difference on how reading can also be fun.
324k views, a massive number for a 9-year old on yt and the impact that it made me watching it in person and the online viewers, u should proud Lukey, btw people watch you for school assignments hope u're real proud man. Edit: Spelling mistakes
The Reading is word.Every Time you Can visit a New places
In this TED talk, Luke Bakic talks about the importance of reading. Over the past years, he had read many books, and they all took him on such an adventure. He loved reading in places like his bed, on the move while walking, in the toilet, in queues, in vehicles, and, more importantly, at home. He hid behind various corners of his house so nobody could find him and make him do anything else. According to him, nothing is better in the universe when you have an excellent book to keep you company. Reading is love in action. He usually never had to study for spelling tests, which made his vocabulary so good that it quickly impressed any grown-up. He assumes that while modern technology wonders have their place, the young generation has to hold on to reading; it's the key to our kingdom. While Luke Bakic's love for reading is impressive, his ideas have some potential disadvantages. Firstly, excessive reading in unconventional places, like while walking or in queues, can pose safety risks. Additionally, hiding from reading instead of participating in other activities may lead to ignoring responsibilities or missing out on meaningful experiences. Finally, while reading is powerful, it's essential to realize that different individuals have different learning styles, and other forms of engagement and exploration are also beneficial. So it's just about finding the right balance.
Powerful video and message! good job little guy!

Name : Irene puspita theresia sihombing From : landak, west kalimantan, Indonesia My comment are - Everything he said is true because it's happening right now and that's the reality - It is so true that without reading we would not have good societies - This greatly motivates me that when it comes to being a good reader we can make a writer which, a good writer will make good communication and good communication will make good speakers and good speakers will make very good persuaders - maybe Many children today may prefer gadgeds, intagrams, and social media over books but we have to continue to direct children that books can change themselves even the world if they are determined Thanks for your video it so motivating for millenials

Know how long school is for many infants? 6 hours. Due to the lockdown, many children are stuck at home with a screen. He has a point, I’m just saying most of that screen-time can possibly be school, especially if they have classes like computing.
