"La vraie vie consiste à réagir rapidement à l'opportunité présente, et non à l'opportunité que vous aviez envisagée. Il ne s'agit pas de penser et de manigancer pour l'avenir, mais de laisser les choses se produire."

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, we imagine a perfect future and make plans for it, expecting everything to go exactly as we thought. However, real life often gives us unexpected chances that we didn't plan for. It's important to recognize and take advantage of these opportunities rather than sticking strictly to our original plans. For example, imagine you're a student who has always wanted to be a doctor. But one summer, you get a chance to work at a tech company and discover you really love and excel at coding. Instead of ignoring this new passion and sticking only to your original plan, you could decide to pursue a career in technology. This way, you can find success and happiness in a path you hadn't even considered before. This advice reminds us to stay flexible and open-minded. When we stop obsessing over making perfect plans for the future, we can better enjoy and learn from the moments that come our way, often leading to surprising and fulfilling outcomes.
