“The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts”
— John Keats
Simplified Meaning:
To make your brain strong, don't quickly decide what's right or wrong about everything. Imagine your mind is like an open road where all kinds of ideas can come and go. This way, you can consider many different viewpoints without being stubborn about any single one. For example, when you hear new information or opinions, listen to them first instead of judging them immediately. By doing this, you'll learn more and understand things better. It's like being a good student who is open to learning from various teachers, rather than refusing to hear anyone else's point of view. This approach helps you think more clearly and become wiser over time.
