Simplified Meaning:

This statement is saying that being smart isn't just about knowing a lot of things; it's about realizing there is always more to learn. It means understanding that no one person can know everything. For example, imagine a doctor who has studied for many years. Even though he is very knowledgeable, he knows there's always more to understand about medicine and new discoveries happening all the time. This attitude helps him keep learning and improving. In your life, you can apply this by staying curious and open-minded, never thinking you have all the answers. By doing so, you'll continue to grow and learn new things.
