00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			One thing which is really, really
important that I found that has
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			benefited us immensely is reading
to the children when they're
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:11
			young, from stories of profits and
others. What that does is that it
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:15
			creates a love for books, because
they see the mother or the father
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			reading from a book. So, and it's
a really interesting story before
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			you go to sleep, right, and you've
got a time to think about it. And
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			it's associated to a book so that
when they grow up until you give
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			them a phone, then it or Satya
Nadella or some purchase God and
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			then you basically mess everything
up. But until then, they love
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			reading was that's what I
experience. And plus those stories
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:39
			at bedtime young, the stories of
the prophets and the sahaba. They
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			are immensely powerful in
conveying to them the right kind
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:48
			of manners and conduct and
behavior and personalities and
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:53
			role models. We invested in a lot
of books, right and my wife used
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			to read a lot to them.
