Simplified Meaning:
When you read a lot, you learn many things and become knowledgeable. Thinking deeply about what you read helps you understand it on a deeper level, giving you wisdom. Talking with others about what you have learned and thought about improves your ability to communicate clearly. Imagine someone who loves reading books about different cultures. They not only gain facts but also start thinking about how people live their lives in those cultures. When they discuss these insights with friends, they can explain their thoughts more clearly and share interesting perspectives. If you want to be well-rounded, spend time reading, take moments to reflect on what you’ve read, and discuss your ideas with others.
