“The learned man knows that he is ignorant”

Victor Hugo

Simplified Meaning:

A truly smart person understands that there's always more to learn. Imagine you're really good at solving math problems. You might feel like you know everything about math. But a wise person who is good at math too would realize that there are many more complicated math topics out there that they don’t understand yet. This idea can be applied to any field, like painting or cooking. Even the best chefs, for example, keep learning new recipes and techniques because they know there’s always room for improvement. This kind of attitude helps people to stay humble and open-minded. It encourages them to keep seeking knowledge and growing as a person, rather than becoming arrogant and stopping their learning journey. So, the message is simple: no matter how much you know, recognize that there's always more to learn, which helps you to become even wiser over time.
