“Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.”

Simplified Meaning:

There are two types of people in the world: some have important things to share but don't speak up, while others talk a lot without really saying anything meaningful. Imagine a classroom where a shy student knows the answer but stays quiet, while another student keeps talking without adding any real value to the discussion. This situation shows that valuable ideas can be lost if people are too afraid to speak, and meaningless chatter can dominate conversations. To make things better, it's important to encourage those with good ideas to express themselves and to guide those who talk a lot to contribute more thoughtfully. By doing this, we can have more meaningful and balanced conversations that benefit everyone.
