“An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.”
— Albert Camus

Simplified Meaning:
An intellectual is a person who thinks about their own thoughts and actions. Instead of just acting on impulse or doing things automatically, they take time to analyze and understand why they do what they do. Imagine a chess player who not only thinks about their next move but also considers why they made their previous moves and how they can improve. This self-awareness helps them to learn and grow. In daily life, being an intellectual can help you make better decisions, as you reflect on your experiences, recognize your mistakes, and find ways to do better in the future. It’s like having a mirror for your mind, allowing you to see and improve yourself.
