no I dont think it does anything... I think doing more makes you more successful. I hate when people that read books think they are better off simply because they read books. Reading a book and watching tv are pretty much the same thing to me. In talking about being successful. You can learn alot from books but its more of the doing and getting out there and chasing the success is what more successful people do.. But to each his own.. not everyone's methods or path is the same
