How would you interpret this?

Here's a qoute by Cicero.

"Read at every wait;
read at all hours;
read within leisure;
read in times of labor;
read as one goes in; read as one goes out; the task of the educated mind is simply put: read to lead."

I understand most of it, but the part "read as one goes in; read as one goes out."

I think Cicero lived at a time where the average person did not have access to the life experiences we do now so in their generation, reading was a straight path to power and growth. Now that our lives are more diverse and accessible to us in ways that it was not to them, I believe real living experiences must be combined with textual data to build the most intelligent human beings in our society.

I don't think it means books, more learn to read the world around you.
