I think reading, in general, is one of my personal strong suites. So it's helped my education and career. A good foundation in reading has set me up for success in many ways.

I go through ebbs and flows of reading though. I'll read non-stop for a few months and then won't read at all for a few. Balancing it is tough as I get older (in my 30's).

EDIT: I work as a technical support engineer so reading and understanding tickets/questions is an essential part of my job as well.
