“Any fact becomes important when it's connected to another.”
— Umberto Eco
Simplified Meaning:
When we connect one piece of information to another, it gains more significance and meaning. Think about a jigsaw puzzle. A single piece on its own doesn't show much, but when you fit it next to others, the bigger picture starts to appear. For example, knowing a person's birthday is just a date. However, if you connect it to someone's favorite way of celebrating, it becomes the right day to plan a special party, making the information valuable. Similarly, in school, learning that water boils at 100°C might seem small. But if you connect that fact to cooking, you understand why you need boiling water to cook pasta. In everyday life, connecting facts helps you see why things happen and how they affect each other, making your decisions better informed.
