“The question isn't what do we want to know about people, it's what do people want to tell about themselves.”
— Mark Zuckerberg

Simplified Meaning:
When we think about understanding others, it's more important to think about what they want to share with us than what we want to find out. Imagine a new student in class who feels shy. Instead of bombarding them with questions, allow them to tell their story at their own pace. This approach builds trust and makes the person more comfortable. They might end up sharing more important and personal details that they wouldn't have if you had pressured them. You can apply this in your life by listening more and giving others the space to open up. This can lead to deeper and more genuine connections where people feel valued for who they are.
