Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, it's smart to keep your knowledge to yourself instead of showing off how much you know. Imagine you're in a group where everyone is solving a problem. If one person always brags about their solution and tries to prove they are the smartest, it can annoy others and make them feel unimportant. On the other hand, someone who understands the problem well but listens first and speaks only when necessary will be respected more. They share their wisdom when it's truly needed and help others without making them feel small. This approach helps in building better relationships and makes others appreciate you more. So, it's good to be wise, but it's even better to know when to show it and when to keep it to yourself.
