"务必保持开放的心态，但不要开放到把大脑弄丢。"

Simplified Meaning:
It's good to be willing to consider new ideas and perspectives. Being flexible and curious can help us learn and grow. However, we should be careful not to accept every idea without thinking it through. If we believe everything we hear, we might end up with beliefs that don't make sense or harm us. Imagine someone who believes every advertisement they see. If they bought every product promising instant success, they would waste their money and time. Instead, they should think critically about what they read or hear, checking if it makes sense and if there's proof to back it up. We can be open to new thoughts but also wise enough to question things that seem too good to be true. This balance helps us make better decisions in life.
