“Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn”
— Benjamin Franklin

Simplified Meaning:
Not knowing something is not as bad as refusing to learn. Imagine a student who doesn't know how to solve a math problem. This isn't a big problem if they are ready to learn how to do it. However, if they choose to ignore the teacher and not try to learn, that is worse. In real life, we all face things we don't understand, like a new job or a new technology. If we are open to learning, we can improve and grow. But if we decide not to learn, we stay stuck and miss out on many opportunities. So, it's important to stay curious and keep learning, even when things are hard.
