"科学者を特徴づけるのは彼が何を信じるかではなく彼がどのようにそしてなぜそれを信じるかである。"

Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you have two friends who both think exercise is good for your health. One friend just believes it because everyone says so, while the other friend reads many books, talks to experts, and does experiments to understand how exercise helps the body. The difference between them isn't the belief itself, but the effort and reasons behind that belief. Scientists are like the second friend; they want strong evidence and solid reasons before they accept something as true. This way of thinking makes their beliefs more reliable. Learning to think like a scientist can help you make better decisions in your life because you will seek out good reasons and facts before accepting new ideas.
