Alexander O.Wassermann, general manager of Inter Continental Hotel
In today’s digital age, reading has become extremely exciting as news, books, and articles are now available 24 hours a day.
Personally I have reading routines that combine paper books and my e-reader.
As a child I truly enjoyed reading fairytales and adventure books and I remember the smell of dust and old paper, as some of the books were inherited from my parents. I keep this tradition and read the same books to and with my daughter in the evening when time allows.
The world is changing fast, but when I observe my daughter I can see the fascination about reading a great story in a book and getting into the story has not changed. I can't imagine a life without reading...
Mason Li Yan, general manager Of Park Plaza Beijing Wangfujing
Knowledge is limitless. Keep reading and learning as this will only make you more successful.
Otherwise, you will only stay behind the times.
Sanjiv Hulugalle, general manager of Four Seasons Hotel
