“What we know matters but who we are matters more”
— Brene Brown
Simplified Meaning:
Knowing things is valuable, but our character and actions are even more important. For example, you might have a lot of knowledge about the environment, but it won't make a big difference unless you also care deeply about nature and act to protect it. In history, figures like Mahatma Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr. had not only great knowledge but also strong moral convictions and compassion, which made them effective leaders for change. If you're kind, honest, and caring, people will trust and respect you more, no matter how much you know. Applying this to your life means focusing on being a good person first; your knowledge will then help you make a positive impact. So, it's about balancing what you know with being the best version of yourself.
