Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, even people who are very knowledgeable about a subject can have gaps in their understanding without realizing it. For example, a doctor might be extremely skilled at treating physical illnesses but might not know much about mental health. This means they might overlook important aspects of a patient's well-being. It’s important for everyone, no matter how much they know, to stay curious and open-minded. Always be willing to learn more and listen to others, because there is always something new to discover. In daily life, this reminds us not to be overconfident or dismissive about things we do not understand well.
