"La minute où je m'ennuyais avec un livre ou un sujet je passais à un autre au lieu de me donner des maux de tête"

Simplified Meaning:

When you're reading a book or studying something and it starts to bore you, it's okay to switch to something else that interests you more. For example, imagine you're reading a history book, and after a few chapters, you find it really boring. Instead of forcing yourself to keep reading and getting frustrated or tired, you might pick up a novel, a magazine, or watch a documentary that you enjoy. This way, you stay interested and engaged, and you avoid stressing yourself out. It's helpful because if you keep doing something you don't like, you might lose motivation and not learn anything at all. So, the idea is to keep your mind fresh and enjoy what you're doing rather than feeling stressed. This approach can be used in many areas of life, like switching tasks at work or trying different hobbies to find what makes you happy.
