"El ejercicio físico, cuando es obligatorio, no daña el cuerpo; pero el conocimiento que se adquiere bajo compulsión no encuentra asidero en la mente."
— Plato

Simplified Meaning:
When you exercise because you have to, it doesn't harm your body. Your muscles still benefit and grow stronger. But, when you are forced to learn something, it doesn't stay in your mind very long. Take a school example: imagine a child who loves playing soccer and does it every day, they become good at it because they enjoy it. However, if the same child is made to study a subject they hate, they'll forget it soon after the test. It shows that physical activities can be done well even if we don't like them, but learning is different. For knowledge to stick, we need to be interested and engaged. To apply this advice, try to find ways to make learning enjoyable or relate it to your interests so it sticks with you better.
