Simplified Meaning:

When you read really good books, it's like having a chat with the smartest people who have ever lived. Imagine you’re sitting down with a wise person who lived a long time ago, and they’re sharing their best ideas and knowledge with you. For example, if you read a book by Albert Einstein, it's almost like he's explaining his discoveries about the universe directly to you. You get to understand how these brilliant people thought, their experiences, and their wisdom. In real life, think about how you can learn something new whenever you have a deep talk with someone knowledgeable. That’s what happens with books, but you’re connecting with people from different times, not just your own. Applying this idea to your life means you should make time to read quality books. This way, you’re constantly learning and growing by accessing the thoughts and lessons from some of the greatest minds in history.
