"伟大的头脑讨论思想; 平庸的头脑讨论事件; 狭隘的头脑讨论人。"
— Eleanor Roosevelt
Simplified Meaning:
People who think deeply and intelligently often focus on new, big-picture concepts and solutions to problems. Those with more typical thinking patterns tend to talk about what's happening in the world around them, like news stories or daily events. People with a narrower viewpoint usually gossip about individual behaviors, scandals, or personal matters. For example, if three friends meet up, one might suggest creating a plan to improve their community park, another might comment on how there was a big storm last night, and the third might spread a rumor about a mutual friend’s private life. To grow and inspire others, it's beneficial to focus conversations on ideas that can lead to meaningful changes rather than just recounting what happened or talking about others' private lives.
