“A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.”
— John Steinbeck
Simplified Meaning:
When you start something new, like going on a trip or getting married, you might think you can plan everything perfectly. However, life is full of surprises, and things often don't go as planned. For example, you might plan a vacation and expect everything to go smoothly. But then your flight gets delayed, it rains when you wanted to go sightseeing, or you get lost in a new city. Instead of getting upset, you learn to adapt and enjoy the unexpected moments. In a marriage, you might have ideas about how everything should be. But your partner has their own ideas, and life changes happen that you can't predict. The key to happiness is being flexible and working together, not trying to control every detail. By understanding that you can't control everything, you can handle challenges better and appreciate the good times even more.
