"La rueda peor del carro hace más ruido."
— Benjamin Franklin
Simplified Meaning:
In life, people who complain or cause problems often get the most attention. Imagine a shopping cart with one bad wheel that squeaks loudly and makes it hard to push. Even though the other three wheels work fine, you notice the noisy one the most. Similarly, in any group or situation, someone who is difficult or loud can overshadow those who are doing well or working quietly. In a classroom, a student who disrupts the class often gets more focus from the teacher than those who behave. It's important to recognize this so that we don't let the loudest complaints take all our energy. Instead, addressing issues calmly and fairly can lead to better outcomes. So, next time you find yourself dealing with a "noisy wheel," remember to also appreciate the quiet and hardworking people around it.
