Simplified Meaning:

Human knowledge is something we build by doing things and constantly learning from our actions. Imagine trying to learn how to ride a bike. You can read about it, watch videos, or listen to others explain it, but you'll only really understand once you get on the bike and try it yourself. The process of falling, balancing, and pedaling helps your brain understand and remember how to ride. Similarly, in history, inventors didn't just come up with ideas out of thin air; they experimented, made mistakes, learned from them, and eventually succeeded. Thomas Edison, for example, tested thousands of materials before finding the right one for the lightbulb filament. This trial and error process shows that knowledge grows through action and experience. We learn best when we are actively involved in the process, rather than just thinking or reading about it. In everyday life, this means that to truly understand something, we have to engage with it, try it out, and learn from the experience. It encourages people to take initiative and embrace hands-on learning to gain deeper insights and knowledge.
