"頭の悪い人だけが賢い人に感心させようとする。賢い人は自分のやるべきことをやるだけだ。"
— Chris Rock
Simplified Meaning:
People who aren't very wise often go out of their way to show off to those who are intelligent, in hopes of gaining their approval or admiration. In contrast, truly smart individuals focus on their own tasks and goals without worrying about impressing others. Imagine a student who spends all their time bragging about their grades, instead of actually studying and learning; they are focusing on showing off rather than improving themselves. On the other hand, a truly bright student quietly works hard, learns deeply, and achieves great results because they are more interested in their own growth than in seeking validation from others. This principle encourages us to concentrate on our personal development and achievements rather than trying to gain attention and approval from others. By doing so, we naturally earn respect and admiration without actively seeking it.
