"اگر فقط کتاب‌هایی را بخوانید که بقیه هم می‌خوانند، فقط می‌توانید همانطور که بقیه فکر می‌کنند فکر کنید."

Simplified Meaning:

When you only read popular books that everyone else reads, your ideas and thoughts become limited to what others already know and think. It's like always eating the same food as everyone else; you never get to know different flavors or cuisines. Imagine if everyone in the world only watched the same movie. They would all see the same scenes and talk about the same things, missing out on many other interesting stories and perspectives. By exploring different types of books, topics, and authors that aren't as popular, you can discover new ideas and viewpoints that make your thinking unique and broad. For example, someone studying both well-known literature and lesser-known writings from different cultures will see the world in a more colorful and diverse way. To apply this advice, try picking up a book on a subject you're not familiar with or by an author from a different country; this will expand your mind and help you think in new, creative ways.
