“I think it’s better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier”
— Chris Rock

Simplified Meaning:
When you have ideas, they're flexible and easy to adjust based on new information or experiences. For example, if you think of an idea for a project and then realize it won’t work, you can simply come up with a new idea. In contrast, a belief is something you hold as true and it becomes part of how you see the world and yourself. For instance, if you believe that you’re not good at math because of past experiences, changing this belief requires much more effort and convincing. Holding on to beliefs can make you less open to new possibilities and limit your growth. So, it's helpful to stay open-minded and ready to adapt your thinking.
