“Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.”

Confucius

Simplified Meaning:

People who are very wise or very stubborn often don't change their ways. Imagine a wise person who has learned from many experiences; they might not need to change because they have already figured out good ways to live. On the other hand, a very stubborn person may refuse to change, no matter what. They think their way is always right, even if it's not. Most people fall somewhere in between: they change and adapt based on what they learn over time. To grow and improve, it's usually best to stay flexible and open to new ideas, rather than always sticking to the same path.
