Simplified meaning
When you avoid being honest with others, you miss the chance to learn from them. Imagine trying to improve a skill, like cooking. If your friend tastes your dish but only says nice things because they don't want to hurt your feelings, you'll never find out what can be improved. But if they tell you the truth, even if it's hard to hear, you can make your recipe better next time. This is true for all areas of life. By being straightforward and honest, you open yourself up to genuine feedback and real insights. This honesty helps you grow and learn more effectively.
