Simplified Meaning:
Thinking highly of yourself all the time can make you miss your own mistakes. If you can admit you are wrong sometimes, it means you are smart. It's like saying, "Even the best baseball player knows he can strike out." By calling yourself a fool now and then, you stay humble and keep learning. This way, you avoid becoming too proud and keep getting better. So, try to recognize your mistakes regularly; it helps you grow and be wiser.
