Simplified Meaning:

A smart person knows when to stop looking for more information and understands what is enough. For example, imagine you're studying for a test. It's wise to focus on the main topics your teacher emphasized instead of trying to read every book in the library. By doing this, you save time and energy, and you are more likely to do well on the test because you concentrated on what was truly important. In everyday life, this means not getting distracted by every little detail and instead paying attention to what truly matters. This advice helps us make better decisions without feeling overwhelmed.
