"الإنسان ما هو إلا قصبة، أضعف شيء في الطبيعة، لكنه قصبة تفكر."

Blaise Pascal

Simplified Meaning:

Humans may seem weak and fragile, like a thin plant that can easily be broken. However, unlike a plant, humans have the ability to think, reason, and understand the world around them. This thinking power makes them special and strong despite their physical weakness. For example, a person might not be able to lift a heavy object alone, showing their physical limitations. But, because they can think and devise plans, they might figure out how to use tools or get help from others to lift the object. This ability to problem-solve and think deeply about things gives people immense strength and resilience. In everyday life, when facing tough situations, it is natural to feel small and powerless. But remember, our mind's capability to think, dream, and find solutions makes us powerful. So, even if you feel weak, use your mind to overcome challenges and achieve your goals.
