"Le problème du monde est que les personnes intelligentes sont pleines de doutes tandis que les stupides sont pleins de confiance."
— Charles Bukowski
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, smart people think a lot and question themselves, which can make them unsure about their decisions. On the other hand, people who are not very wise often feel very sure of themselves, even when they shouldn’t be. This can lead to situations where those who should be leading or making decisions hesitate, and those who might not know as much speak up strongly and take charge. For example, in a classroom, a student who knows the subject well might stay quiet because they worry they might be wrong, while another student who hasn’t studied might raise their hand and answer without any doubt. In life, it’s good to find a balance: to listen to your doubts enough to learn and improve, but also to have the confidence to act and speak up when needed. This way, you can use your intelligence wisely and not let uncertainty hold you back.
