Simplified Meaning:
Talking with different people and hearing their ideas can help us learn and think better. Imagine your mind is like a piece of metal. If you rub and polish it with another piece of metal, both become shiny and smooth. Similarly, when you talk with others and listen to what they have to say, your thinking gets clearer and smarter. For example, in school, working with classmates on a group project helps everyone get new perspectives and ideas. This makes the final project better than if you worked alone. So, talking to others and sharing ideas is a great way to improve and grow smarter.
