Warren Buffett , a voracious reader, will be the first to tell you that reading is the most valuable source of knowledge. The Berkshire Hathaway CEO reads up to 500 pages per day.
When I asked Cho Tak Wong , chairman of Fuyao Group about the best piece of advice he'd give to the world, he answered, "I'd tell young people to read. Read books about how to do things right. Read books about how to be a good person."
If you have the stereotypical image of a billionaire reading the economy pages of national dailies, you're not wrong - some of them do just that. Many prefer the likes of The Economist, Financial Times, Fortune or The Wall Street Journal.
