Simplified Meaning:
Learning facts and information is done by studying, like reading books or taking classes. However, understanding life deeply, which is wisdom, comes from paying attention to what happens around you. For example, memorizing a recipe lets you make a dish, but watching how people enjoy it and what they say about it helps you understand what makes food special to them. To gain wisdom, watch people's actions, listen to their stories, and learn from experiences, both yours and others'. This will teach you more about life and the best ways to handle different situations. So, if you want to be wise, pay attention and reflect on what you see and hear in your daily life.
