"世界の問題は、愚かな人々が確信に満ちている一方で、知的な人々が疑念で満たされていることです。"
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
Many times, people who don't know much think they know everything. They are very confident, even when they're wrong. Meanwhile, smart people often question themselves because they understand how complicated things can be. For example, in school, a student who didn't study might loudly claim they know all the answers, but they end up making mistakes. Another student who studied hard might still worry and double-check their answers because they want to be accurate. The wise person understands that it's good to be careful and not assume they are always right. This means in life, it's important to be humble and always be willing to learn and question what we think we know.
