Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
True this. I'm currently taking Calculus and I frequently have people who are in present studying Algebra II, Geometry or Pre-Calculus ask me for help claiming that it's impossible and insanely hard. I've almost always thought: "Damn... the stuff I have to deal with in Calculus is much more frustrating on ocasions than what you are taking"
If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world. One might as well attempt to grasp the game of poker entirely by the use of the mathematics of probability.
Vannevar Bush (1890 - 1974)
A lot of people had told me: "Why are you taking Calculus, it's such a waste of time!". My response: "So that I can figure out the area of your stupidity".
To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered.
Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
Society is stupid, the individuals are stupid, humans are stupid, only the thinking mind that wants to figure out the unkown can be clasiffied as intelligent. Since society, individuals and humans are a majority, the one who can make the simple look good will be in power, in simpler terms, yourself, for thinking about what I've already thought of and not thinking of a different way to agree or disagree with me.
Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.
Stephen Vizinczey
Formal education... you get taught about what others have thought about before you, this will further be fortified by the next quote.
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Albert Einstein
Why read! Why in the hell do we read!? Because we think that it will enlighten us by reading a novel. The only reading that we should make is that which makes us laugh and that which is to learn about the Universe, in other words, everything. That reading which makes you think about what somebody else thought about is a waste of time, the only thing that you did is walk behind someone, and not create your own footsteps.

The best I can say is reading builds up your vocabulary XD At least the stuff I read does.

As long as one can express himself so that others may understand him without difficulty, there is no need for an overly enhanced vocabulary in which more than 80% of the population won't use.
By experience, I've enhanced my vocabulary by far greater leaps by writting than reading. With reading you just read it, upon writing, you use it, interpret it and know it's meaning.
