Simplified Meaning:

No matter how smart or experienced someone is, they can’t predict everything that will happen in the future. Imagine a skilled chess player who thinks they have the perfect strategy. They can plan many moves ahead, but they can’t foresee every possible move their opponent might make. In real life, a person might give advice or make a decision based on their knowledge and experience, but unexpected things can still occur. For instance, a financial expert might recommend investing in a particular stock because it seems promising. However, sudden changes in the market, politics, or natural disasters could change everything. This idea teaches us to be humble and open-minded, understanding that there will always be unknown factors we can’t control or foresee.
