One of the best ways to learn something is to teach it to someone else. This is true because when you teach something, you get to learn it twice.

That’s why, on my way to reading 1,000 books, I stop and share the best insights and lessons here on Medium.

Today’s book is called You Learn by Living, by Eleanor Roosevelt, a former First Lady of the United States and an inspiration to generous, adventurous people everywhere. Let’s check it out!

Why would you even get up in the morning if today was going to be exactly like yesterday?

In a universe of two trillion galaxies and a world of seven billion people, no two days are ever exactly the same, and your personal decline starts when you turn away from this gorgeous fact.

“When you stop learning you stop living in any vital and meaningful sense. And the purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”

-Eleanor Roosevelt
