“Some people will never learn anything for this reason because they understand everything too soon”
— Alexander Pope

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, there are people who think they know everything right away. Because they believe they already understand, they don’t take the time to listen, learn, or ask questions. Imagine a student who hears a new topic in class and quickly assumes they understand it all. They might not study further or ask for help, and as a result, they miss out on deeper knowledge. This attitude stops them from truly learning or growing. In life, it's important to stay curious and open-minded, always ready to learn more, instead of assuming we know everything too fast.
