"Una educación no es cuánto has memorizado, ni siquiera cuánto sabes. Es poder diferenciar entre lo que sabes y lo que no sabes."

Anatole France

Simplified Meaning:

Learning isn't just about remembering lots of facts or having tons of knowledge in your head. It's more important to understand the difference between what you actually know and what you don't know. Think about a doctor who helps sick people. This doctor isn't just good because they've memorized medical books. They're skilled because they know when they understand a problem and when they need to ask someone else for help or do more research. For example, imagine you're good at math, but you don't know much about cooking. A smart person will not pretend to know cooking tricks they haven’t learned. Instead, they'll ask someone who does know or look up a recipe. In your life, this means being honest about your strengths and weaknesses. If you admit when you don't know something, you can learn more effectively and make better decisions. This way, you grow wiser and truly educated.
