"Quand tout peut arriver tout compte"
— Ian McEwan
Simplified Meaning:
When you're in a situation where anything is possible, every little thing you do or say becomes important. Imagine planning a surprise party. If someone lets the secret slip, the whole surprise could be ruined. Similarly, in life, when outcomes are uncertain and open to many possibilities, your actions influence which direction things will go. For example, think about an election. Every single vote counts because it can affect the final result. If people think their vote doesn't matter and they stay home, the outcome can be completely different. This idea tells us to stay aware of our choices and actions because they have real consequences, especially in complex situations. By being thoughtful and careful, we can help shape better outcomes in uncertain times.
