“Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.”

Phil Jackson

Simplified Meaning:

Being smart is usually better than being physically strong. Imagine two people trying to solve a problem. One person is very strong, and the other is very clever. If the problem requires heavy lifting, the strong person can help. However, if the problem needs thinking and planning, the clever person will find better ways to solve it. For example, in a game of chess, physical strength doesn't help. Instead, the player who thinks ahead and plans smart moves wins. Using intelligence and wisdom can often overcome problems that strength alone cannot. In everyday life, when facing difficult situations, thinking carefully and making wise choices can lead to better results than just trying to force things to happen. So, it's important to value and use intelligence and wisdom to overcome challenges.
