"Se tromper à sa manière est mieux que d'avoir raison de la manière des autres."
— Fyodor Dostoevsky

Simplified Meaning:
It's better to make your own mistakes than to succeed by following someone else's path. When you do things your own way, you learn and grow, even if you fail. Imagine a student who cheats on a test and gets a good grade. They might seem successful, but they haven't really learned anything. On the other hand, a student who studies hard but makes mistakes can learn from those errors and become smarter. Similarly, if you always follow others, you miss out on figuring things out for yourself. It's important to trust yourself and make your own choices, even if you sometimes mess up, because that helps you become stronger and more confident.
