I read to upgrade myself as a teacher. I have been in teaching for the past 20 years now and have recorded lots of achievements in the job. I used to stay at work after closing hours in school to do researchers in the computer library. I do this both online and offline and gather lots of facts regarding my field of study. I teach Mathematics, Physics, and Further Mathematics together and try to be very effective in what I discharge to the pupils. My profession entails regular reading and requires that I teach accurately in class in order to help gifted pupils discover and develop their potentials.
I used to be very happy whenever I discharge my best in class especially when I realize that children are receiving the kind of stuff they need to step up in life. When I compared my knowledge and experience now with that when I started teaching, it's been a wide difference. I have gone a long way in reading and have seen the dividend.

Personally, reading is fun and life-changing. Why? Because trials and errors are crucial, but not enough. You should start to simulate how things can go. And the safer and faster way to do it is through reading books/articles and etc. For me, it is really imperative that we read especially if we are still a student. It has a great impact to deal with like enhancing our reading speed or capacity, enhances our knowledge and insights and lastly, it improves our awareness in day to day situations. Moreover, it will help us to understand new concepts and notions in a certain topic and the possibility to pass certain examinations which can be an excellent outcome.
Many times our perception is not enough to notice certain things, and it's highly probable that someone has already spent a lot of time writing about how to get the results that you're trying to achieve.

I read to learn new things. I love reading because reading is a good way to escape reality, you making your own world, time, space even the persons to talk to. Reading is a good way to take off the depression, read educational books, jokes, novels, poetry will make you calm.
And when you can't sleep reading is a good way too tired your eyes and make a good dream for you.

Reading is an excellent way to relax. I find that reading is one of my favorite hobbies; it allows me to dive into a completely different world and forget about everything else. Whenever I read, I'm able to escape all of my stress, worries, and upcoming problems. I think that books tell the stories of people we don't know, places we haven't been, and worlds we can only imagine.
So, that's basically the main reason why I read. Reading is my way of relaxing.

I like to read. I like to have something to do while waiting for appointments and on our Sabbath day I like to sit on the porch and read.

Life is a continuous learning. I salute you for being dedicated to your job. I know you heard this saying, "To the world you may be just a teacher but to your students you are a HERO".

I have the same reason as you, to upgrade my skills. As a software developer, I cannot expect to keep up with the constant churn of technology unless I read, and of course, apply whatever it is that I have read.
Aside from that, reading allows me to go on wonderful trips around the world, and sometimes, even out of this world. I love reading sports articles, feeling the athletes' passion for their craft. I love reading about made up worlds inhabited by complex characters bound by even more complex rules. I love reading blog posts of other software developers who have "made it" in the industry. Most of all, I love reading inspirational stories and the Bible because those are where I get the hope that even though my situation looks bleak, there are still amazing things waiting for me at the end.

Why do I read? For me reading is an escaped into the world of the unknown, to be the person who I wanted to be. I can also relate to the characters I'm reading. The world of fiction or nonfiction gives me a sense of how a person behaves or why they do what they do through this characters. I can also work my imagination with reading because my mind provides for the imagery lacking in a book full of words.
