“Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.”
— Albert Camus
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes when people sleep, they might say things out loud without knowing. Similarly, some teachers or speakers continue talking even when their audience is not paying attention, possibly even falling asleep. It's like giving a speech to people who have no interest in listening. For example, imagine a boring lecture where everyone is tired and some might even nod off. The lecturer keeps talking, but no one absorbs anything because they are too sleepy. This suggests that effective communication isn’t just about talking; it’s also about engaging the audience so they stay awake and interested. To avoid this in real life, when speaking to others, make sure you are engaging them in a way that keeps their attention and makes them interested in what you’re saying.
