“Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think”
— Niels Bohr
Simplified Meaning:
It means you shouldn't try to say things in a complicated way if you don't really understand them yourself. Imagine you're explaining a new game to friends. If you don't know all the rules well, your explanation will confuse everyone. It’s better to use simple words and be clear about what you do understand. This way, people can follow along, and you won't mislead them. In everyday life, it helps to speak honestly and avoid pretending to know everything, which makes communication smoother and more genuine.
