Simplified Meaning:
As people get older, they start to realize there's a lot they don't know. When we're young, we often think we have all the answers. For example, kids might think they understand how the world works, like thinking money grows on trees or that adults have everything figured out. But as we go through life, we encounter more situations and see how complex things really are, like how making money requires hard work and managing a budget. This makes us aware of our limitations and that many things don't have simple answers. So if you're feeling like you don't know everything, it's a sign of growing wisdom. Embracing this idea can make us more open-minded and willing to learn from others.
