"چه کسی فروتن‌تر است دانشمندی که با ذهن باز به جهان نگاه می‌کند و هر چیزی را که جهان به ما بیاموزد می‌پذیرد یا کسی که می‌گوید هر چیزی در این کتاب باید به عنوان حقیقت مطلق در نظر گرفته شود و به خطاپذیری تمامی انسان‌های درگیر توجهی نداشته باشیم؟"

Carl Sagan

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you have two people trying to understand the world around them. One person is like a scientist who is always curious and ready to learn new things. They look at the world with wonder and are open to discovering whatever the universe has to show. They understand that humans make mistakes and that it's important to keep an open mind. The second person, however, believes that everything written in a certain book is exactly true and cannot be questioned. They think this book has all the answers and don't consider that the people who wrote it could have made errors. Being humble means acknowledging that we don’t know everything and being willing to learn and grow. The scientist shows humility by being open to new information and understanding that our knowledge is always changing. On the other hand, the person who blindly follows the book shows less humility because they're not willing to consider that there might be more to learn or that the book might not be perfect. In everyday life, it's better to be like the scientist. If you're open to new ideas and ready to admit when you don’t know something, you can learn and improve more. This approach makes you wiser and helps you grow as a person.
