The 5-Hour Rule Used by Bill Gates, Jack Ma and Elon Musk
“It’s no secret that successful people read. The average millionaire is said to read two or more books per month.” As such, she suggests everyone “read blogs, news sites, fiction and non-fiction during downtime so you can soak in more knowledge.” If you’re frequently on the go, listen to audiobooks or podcasts.
Maybe you’re thinking: Who has the time to sit down and actually read? Between work and family, it’s almost impossible to find free time. As an entrepreneur and a father, I can relate — but only to an extent. After all, if Barack Obama could fit in time to read while in the White House, what excuse do you have? He even credits books to surviving his presidency.
President Obama is far from the only leader to credit his success to reading. Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk, Mark Cuban and Jack Ma are all voracious readers. As Gates told The New York Times, reading “is one of the chief ways that I learn, and has been since I was a kid.”
So how do they find the time to read daily? They adhere to the five-hour rule.
A special coincidence after 149 years!
This year’s lunar eclipse is also important because of its position. Lunar eclipse which is also known as Chandra Grahan and is taking place with Guru Purnima at the same day after 149 years. The Moon should be about half-covered by the Earth’s shadow at maximum eclipse. This is the last lunar eclipse of this year and the next lunar eclipse will take place on May 26, 2021.
This partial lunar eclipse is likely to be the last lunar eclipse of India. The eclipse will be visible in areas across Australia, New Zealand, neighbouring islands, Asia (except north eastern parts), parts of Europe and most of South America.

EARTH FROM CHANDRAYAAN-1 AS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED.
Kudos to the Chandrayaan-1 team; the image is absolutely gorgeous in its detail, and bodes well for the spacecraft’s images of the Moon, which will be taken from a much closer distance.
