"عندما يسألك أحدهم قرش من أجل أفكارك وتدلي برأيك ماذا يحدث للقرش الآخر"

Simplified Meaning:

When someone asks for your opinion, they might say, 'A penny for your thoughts,' meaning they are willing to listen to what you have to say. If you respond with 'your two cents,' you are giving more than what was asked for. This can mean that sometimes we over-explain or add too much information than what a person was expecting or wanting. Imagine a friend asking, 'What do you think of this outfit?' and they just want a simple 'It looks great!' But instead, you start talking a lot about the color, design, fashion trends, and other details. You have given more information than they needed. This can sometimes be helpful, but it can also be overwhelming. In life, it's important to know when to give a little extra advice or feedback, but also to recognize when it's better to keep it simple. If someone wants a short response, try to respect that. This way, your words can stay valuable and meaningful without overloading the other person.
