"قابل توجه است که ذهن انسان میتواند تا این حد اشتباه کند و در عین حال اینقدر مطمئن باشد"

Simplified Meaning:
People's brains have a surprising ability to believe in their ideas even when they are incorrect. Imagine someone who's convinced that they can drive the fastest route to a destination, but they end up getting stuck in traffic and taking longer. This shows how confident they were in their knowledge, despite it being wrong. It's common in history too; for example, explorers used to think the earth was flat. They were very sure of it, but later it was proven wrong. This teaches us to be open-minded and ready to learn from mistakes. To apply this, always check your facts and listen to others before being too sure about something.
