About This Quote
The real education is the reality of how well you live life. "The reality of how well you live life" sounds like a simple statement. And, in some ways, it is. What it means is that education should not be about the way you look at the world but rather the way you live your life.
Consider, for example, how someone studying history might approach his or her studies. The person might spend hours studying books and writing papers on the past only to discover that he or she has no idea what it was like to live in times gone by. The best way to understand something is to experience it first-hand.
This is true for all areas of life: our financial lives, our relationships and even our spiritual lives.
