"إذا كان الطريق أمامك واضحًا ، فمن المحتمل أنك على طريق شخص آخر"
— Joseph Campbell
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, life is too easy and everything goes smoothly, that's a sign that you might be following what someone else has done instead of making your own way. Imagine you’re hiking in the woods and see a wide, well-trodden path. It's easy to walk on, but many have walked it before. If you take a different route, one that has no clear path, it might be tougher because you're the first to try it. This idea suggests that true success and innovation often require creating your own unique path, one that might not be easy or obvious. For example, think about famous inventors like Thomas Edison. He could have joined an existing project, but instead, he chose to invent new things, like the light bulb. It was definitely harder because he had to figure everything out without any guidance, but that's how he made a real impact. In your life, this means that while it's comfortable to do what everyone else is doing, real growth and discovery happen when you try something new and challenging. If you're working on something and it's too straightforward, ask yourself if you're just copying others. Don’t be afraid to take a risk and try something different; it might be harder, but it's how you can make a real difference.
