“We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change”
— Sheryl Sandberg
Simplified Meaning:
People can't make improvements or fix problems if they don't know about them. It's like trying to repair a broken car without knowing that it has a flat tire. Once we notice there is something wrong, like the flat tire, we feel the need to fix it. This awareness pushes us to take action. For instance, if you're always late to work and you realize it's because you snooze your alarm too many times, knowing this can help you change your habit and wake up earlier. Being aware is the first step to making any kind of positive change in life.
