“Tell me and I forget teach me and I may remember involve me and I learn”
— Benjamin Franklin

Simplified Meaning:
When someone just tells you how to do something, you might not remember it later. If they show you how, you might remember for a while. But if they let you do it yourself, that's when you truly learn. For example, think about cooking a new recipe. If a friend explains it to you, you might forget the steps. If they show you how to cook it, you might remember parts of it. But if you cook the recipe yourself, following their guidance, you learn how to do it properly and can make it again in the future without help. This idea teaches us that actively participating and practicing things is the best way to learn and remember. So, in your everyday life, whenever you want to learn something new, try to get involved and practice it yourself.
