The distinction needs to be made between reusing code per se, versus writing "code that is reusable", meaning code to which extra care and effort has been applied to to make it suitable for reuse in different contexts.
It takes a lot of foresight to write such kind of code, and you will most likely not be able to pull it off unless you are an especially seasoned 'elite' programmer and/or possess lots of experience in the problem domain you are addressing.
