Simplified Meaning:

People understand the world better through stories instead of just plain facts or figures. Imagine trying to explain why you should drive safely. If you give someone numbers and statistics about car accidents, it might not stick with them. But if you tell them a story about someone who had an accident because they were texting while driving, it becomes more real and memorable. In our everyday lives, we often remember lessons through the experiences of others. For example, hearing about someone's journey of overcoming obstacles can inspire us more than simply being told 'never give up.' This is because stories connect with our emotions and make the information feel personal. To apply this understanding, when you want to explain something important to someone, try telling a story or giving a real-life example. This makes the message more powerful and easier to remember.
