"On reconnaît son chemin en découvrant les sentiers qui s'en écartent."
— Albert Camus
Simplified Meaning:
When you know you're on the right track, it's often because you've seen or experienced things that have taken you off track. Imagine you're hiking a trail in a big forest. Sometimes, you might accidentally walk down the wrong path, but then you realize it doesn't look or feel right. You turn back, find the main trail, and now you know better which way you should be going. This idea can be applied to life too. When people make mistakes or take wrong turns in their decisions, those experiences help them understand what their true goals or paths should be. For instance, if you take a job that makes you unhappy, you learn more about what you value in a career, and this guides you toward a more fulfilling job next time. By learning from these deviations, you become clearer about your true direction.
