My Love Affair with MVDuolos and Books


he MVDuolos was in Cebu since January 26 until February 19, 2007. It was built in 1914. It is only two years younger that the Titanic. Duolos is the World’s Largest Floating Book Fair, carrying 6,000 book titles across the oceans to different parts of the globe. The Duolos ship has 350 volunteers from 50 countries live and work together onboard of the MVDuolos. Duolos seeks to bring Knowledge, Help and Hope to the nations of the world. Since 1977, Duolos has visited more than 100 countries around the globe, welcoming over 19 million visitors on the ship. Duolos carries a stock of half a million books for sale, covering subjects such as Science, Education, Sports, Cookery, History, Technology, Photography, Christian Living, and a wide range of Children’s Literature. MVDuolos is one of my beloved ships of all time because it is giving free education to everyone even before the ship has not arrived in Cebu yet is I like it already before I saw it in personal. This ship brings joy and happiness to everyone because this ship contains books and other beneficial things that may help and lead to the development of education of each country that they will visit.
And another thing is I loved books very much because when you read a book, your mind and imagination is working to help initialize and understand the things better that you read. There are five essential and basic skills that you should know as a student and a person. These are reading, speaking, writing, listening and comprehending. Because when you listen, you can speak and while you can speak you can read and when you read, you can comprehend and write the things that you want to write. Reading is one of the most important basic skills because when you read, you can go to far away and distant places that you want to go even if you are not going there. That is why you can imagine and think already what these places would look like. As if your there to see what is there and what is happening in that place. And just by reading you are learning something that might help in your future. And while your learning, keep these things on mind and stock these on your head just like banking. Because when you bank, you can deposit and withdraw your money like putting it on your head. And you can withdraw it from your head when it is time to express what you learn to others.
Books are so important to us persons because books are knowledge of life. They supply the things that you want to learn. Books are cheaper and better compared to computers and laptops. They are free and you can just read it always when you have a time. They are one way of improving and civilizing the humankind from being ignorant and for the economy. The most important book of all is the Bible. The Bible contains the word of God that plays a very important role in our life. The Bible serves us guide and pathway to righteousness. And when you read it, you are just looking at the God. That is why books are better than any technology in the world.
