Simplified Meaning:

People who know less about the world often think they know everything. Imagine a student who just started learning math; they might feel really smart after solving a simple addition problem. They believe they are math experts. But someone who has studied math for years knows how much more there is to learn and might not feel as confident, even though they know much more. In life, it's the same way. Someone with limited knowledge on a topic might act overly proud and believe they are always right. This can make it hard to work with others and learn new things, because they think they don’t need to. However, understanding that there is always more to know helps people stay humble and open to learning. So, it's better to keep an open mind and recognize there's always more to discover in any area. This attitude makes it easier to grow and improve.
