"Comprendre signifie jeter votre connaissance."

Thich Nhat Hanh

Simplified Meaning:

When you truly understand something, you often have to let go of what you think you know about it. Imagine learning to ride a bike. Reading books about bike riding or memorizing facts won't help you balance on two wheels. You really learn by getting on the bike, feeling how it moves, and figuring it out through experience. This idea can also apply to people. If you meet someone new but hold on tightly to stereotypes or assumptions based on what you think you know about their background, you won't really get to know who they are. To understand them, you need to set aside your prior knowledge and be open to learning from your actual interactions with them. In daily life, be willing to unlearn and re-learn. It's about being humble and curious, rather than acting like you already have all the answers. This approach can help solve problems more effectively and build stronger relationships.
