"生活是唯一真正的顾问;未经个人经验过滤的智慧不会成为道德结构的一部分。"

Simplified Meaning:

You really understand life by living it, not just by hearing about it. Personal experiences teach you things that books or advice can't. For instance, imagine you hear stories about how difficult it is to ride a bike. You might get some tips, but you only really learn when you actually get on the bike, fall a few times, and figure out your balance. That process of doing and learning through mistakes and successes is what truly shapes you. It’s like those experiences become a part of who you are, helping you understand and deal with future situations better. So, to really gain wisdom, you need to be out there living and experiencing things, not just reading about them or listening to other people talk.
