“Experts often possess more data than judgment.”

Colin Powell

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people with a lot of knowledge or information might not always make the best decisions. Imagine a doctor who knows everything about diseases and medicines. If this doctor only focuses on the details from books and studies but forgets to listen to their patients or think about their feelings, they might miss important clues about what is really wrong. For example, a business leader might have lots of data about market trends and customer preferences. However, just having this data isn't enough. They need to use their common sense and insights to interpret the data and make smart choices about what products to develop or what strategy to follow. In life, it's important to combine what we know with good judgment. You might know a lot about healthy eating, but if you don't consider your own body's signals and personal health needs, you might still make poor dietary choices. So, using both information and thoughtful judgment leads to better outcomes.
