“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits”
— Albert Einstein
Simplified Meaning:
Smart people know there are boundaries to their knowledge and understand when to stop or seek more information. On the other hand, foolish people often act without thinking and believe they know everything, leading to more mistakes. For example, a wise person studying a subject might admit when they don’t know something and go learn more, while someone less wise might pretend to know everything and give wrong information instead. In daily life, it’s important to recognize your own limits and ask for help when needed. This can prevent errors and misunderstandings. Admitting you don’t know something and being open to learning makes you wiser and helps you grow.
