Simplified meaning
If you can't make something yourself, you might not truly understand how it works. Think about cooking a meal from scratch. If you don't know how to prepare it step by step, you likely don't fully understand the recipe or the ingredients. This idea can be applied to many areas, like fixing a bike. If you can't put it together or repair it yourself, you might not get how all the parts work together to make it function. To really grasp something, try to learn how to create or do it on your own. By building or making something with your own hands, you gain a deeper understanding of how it works. This approach can be helpful in school, work, or any new skill you wish to learn.
