Simplified meaning
A smart person knows it's not always good to take in everything they can see, hear, or learn. Instead, they focus only on what is important and useful. It’s like when you go to a buffet with many dishes; just because you can eat everything doesn’t mean you should. Picking only the best or what suits you is wiser and healthier. By doing this, you save yourself from being overwhelmed and making better choices. This helps in preventing information overload and allows you to concentrate on what truly matters in your life.
