"La verdad es que hay un mundo de diferencia entre saber algo intelectualmente y saberlo por medio de la experiencia."
— Francis Chan

Simplified Meaning:
Understanding something in your mind is different from truly understanding it through real-life experiences. Imagine learning to ride a bike. You can read all about balance, pedals, and how to steer. This gives you intellectual knowledge. But it’s only when you actually get on a bike, feel the wobbles, and practice riding, that you really learn how to do it. This direct experience teaches you in a way that no book or video can. In life, going through situations often gives deeper understanding than just hearing about them. For instance, reading about grief is not the same as losing a loved one. When you face it yourself, you truly understand the emotions and challenges involved.
