“The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant”
— Plato

Simplified Meaning:
We know some things, but there are many more things that we do not know. Imagine a small cup of water representing what we know. Now, look at the vast ocean – that represents what we don't know. For example, let's say you know how to cook pasta, but you have no idea how to fix a car or how the stars in the sky work. Our knowledge is limited like the water in the cup, while the unknown is as huge as the ocean. This shows us that it's important to stay humble and curious, always ready to learn more. So, keep exploring new subjects and understand that even experts have a lot left to discover.
