Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of daily reading and its cumulative effect on knowledge. By suggesting to read 500 pages every day, it suggests that continuous learning is comparable to compound interest, where even small and consistent efforts lead to significant growth over time. Additionally, it comments on the lack of dedication and commitment shown by many individuals when it comes to acquiring knowledge, implying that only a few will truly put in the necessary effort to achieve intellectual growth.
