"La haute fonction apprend à prendre des décisions, pas la substance."
— Henry Kissinger

Simplified Meaning:
When you have a big job with lots of responsibility, you learn how to make decisions quickly, but you might not learn everything about what you're dealing with. Think about a CEO of a large company. They might not know all the details about every part of the business, like the person who works in marketing or IT. Instead, they become good at making big choices, like whether to start a new project or cut costs. In daily life, if you're in charge of a group project at school, you don't need to know everything about the subject. You just need to make sure everyone works well together and finishes on time. So, focusing on how to make good decisions and lead a team is key, even if you don’t have all the detailed knowledge.
