"در چیزهای کوچک باهوش، در چیزهای بزرگ احمق."

Benjamin Franklin

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people are really good at handling small tasks but make big mistakes with important decisions. It's like someone who can perfectly assemble a small piece of furniture from a store but then makes a poor choice in spending all their savings on a risky investment. Being skilled in minor details doesn't always mean you're wise about more significant, impactful choices. In history, many talented individuals have failed because they didn't see the bigger picture. For example, a business owner might excel at managing daily operations but could lose everything by making a bad overall business decision. To avoid this, one should strive to not only focus on minor successes but also develop good judgment for larger issues.
