Simplified Meaning:
When people are happy with what they already know and never question their own ideas, they stop learning new things. Imagine if a student is content with just knowing how to read but never moves on to learn how to write. They will miss out on a lot of opportunities that come with writing. For example, in history, those who never questioned their beliefs often resisted new scientific discoveries and held back progress. In everyday life, if someone believes they know everything about their job, they might not look for better ways to do things and miss out on improving their skills. To avoid this, one should always stay curious, ask questions, and be open to learning new things. This way, they can keep growing and becoming wiser.
