"أن تُدعى شيئًا، هو في كثير من الأحيان أن تكون شيئًا آخر"

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, when people call you a name or label you in a certain way, it doesn't reflect who you really are. For example, think about a student in school who is called a nerd just because they like to study and learn. The term "nerd" might make it seem like they are socially awkward or uncool, but in reality, they might be friendly and fun. This label doesn’t define the entire person’s character or abilities. It shows that words can be misleading and that we shouldn't judge someone solely based on what others say about them. Instead, we should get to know people for who they really are, beyond the labels and names they might be given.
