Simplified Meaning:

Learning and gaining knowledge isn't about just stuffing your brain with facts and information until it's full. Instead, it's like lighting a fire—it should create excitement, curiosity, and passion. Imagine you're trying to learn about science. If you just memorize a bunch of terms and definitions without understanding them, it might feel boring and you may forget it easily. But if you start exploring how science affects everyday life, like how weather forecasts are made or how our bodies work, you get curious and want to learn more. This sparks an interest that makes learning enjoyable and keeps you wanting to discover new things. So, rather than just collecting information, try to ignite a love for learning that will keep you engaged and eager to know more.
