"A man who won’t listen can’t hear"
Simplified meaning
If someone refuses to pay attention, they won't understand what's being said. For instance, imagine a student in class who ignores the teacher because they think they already know everything. This student misses important information and likely won't do well on tests. In life, if you don't listen to advice from others, you might miss out on helpful ideas or warnings. Being open to listening can help you learn new things, avoid mistakes, and make better decisions. To put this into practice, always try to be open to what others are saying, even if you think you know it all.
