"القبول الحازم لما لا مفر منه هو بداية الحكمة"
— Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:
When we learn to accept things we cannot change, we start to become wise. Imagine you are stuck in traffic on your way to work; you can’t do anything about it, so getting angry won’t help. Instead, you accept the situation and maybe use the time to listen to an interesting podcast or enjoy some music. By accepting the delay calmly, you handle the situation better and stay happier. In life, many things are beyond our control, like the weather or how other people behave. Accepting these things means we use our energy for things we can change and improve, making us more peaceful and wise. So, by recognizing what we can't control and focusing on what we can, we become better at handling life’s challenges.
