“I've always wanted to be somebody who knows the game, not just the rules”
— Mark Wahlberg
Simplified Meaning:
Some people learn the basic rules of how something works, but others want to understand it deeply. It's like the difference between knowing how to play chess and being a great chess player. Just learning the rules won’t make you win; you also need to understand strategies, think ahead, and see the bigger picture. Imagine you cook by following a recipe exactly. You know how to make a dish, but a chef knows why each ingredient is important and how to change the recipe to make it better. In our lives, we should aim to really understand and master what we do, not just follow instructions. This deeper knowledge helps us handle challenges better and become more successful. So, if you want to excel in something, focus on truly understanding it, not just knowing the basics.
