Geoffrey Chaucer

Simplified Meaning:

Being really smart or knowledgeable doesn't always mean someone makes the best decisions or understands life well. For example, you might know someone who got top grades in school but struggles with everyday situations or relationships. Knowledge and wisdom are different; knowledge is about facts and information, while wisdom is about understanding people and making good choices. Someone might know a lot about science or history, but wisdom involves knowing how to be kind, deal with problems, and learn from experiences. To apply this in life, remember that book smarts are valuable, but it’s also important to develop emotional intelligence and practical skills. So, don’t just focus on learning information; also work on understanding people and yourself better.
