"分別のある人は自分を世界に適応させますが、分別のない人は世界を自分に適応させようとし続けます。したがって、すべての進歩は分別のない人に依存します。"
— George Bernard Shaw

Simplified Meaning:
When we look at how people interact with the world, there are two main types. One type adjusts themselves to fit in with the way things are. They go along with existing rules and norms. The other type doesn’t just accept things as they are. Instead, they work to change the world to fit their own ideas and needs. Because of this, all the big changes and progress we see often come from the second type. For example, inventors like Thomas Edison who insisted on creating new technologies, even when the world wasn't ready, ended up bringing major advancements. To make a difference, it's sometimes necessary to challenge the status quo and push for new ways of doing things, instead of simply fitting in.
