"Si vous tombez plongez"
— Joseph Campbell
Simplified Meaning:
When you find yourself in a difficult situation that's spiraling out of control, it's better to take control of the situation and make the best of it, rather than letting fear paralyze you. Think about when you're learning to ride a bike and you start to fall. Instead of just letting yourself crash, you can try to fall in a way that causes the least harm, like aiming for the grass instead of the pavement. In life, this means if something bad or unexpected is happening, face it head-on with determination and purpose. For example, if you lose your job, instead of panicking, you could use the opportunity to pursue a new career or start a business you've always dreamed about. By diving into the challenge, you can often turn a negative experience into a positive one. Approaching problems with a proactive attitude can help you to adapt and even thrive in tough situations.
