"En el ajedrez uno no puede controlar todo A veces una partida toma un giro inesperado en el que comienza a surgir la belleza"
— Julio Cortazar
Simplified Meaning:
Life can be like playing a game of chess because you can't always predict what will happen. Even if you plan carefully, unexpected events can change everything. These surprises can sometimes lead to amazing and beautiful results you didn't see coming. Imagine you plan a picnic, but it starts raining. At first, you're upset because your plan is ruined. But then you decide to have an indoor picnic instead, and it turns out to be even more fun than your original idea. This teaches us to stay flexible and open-minded. When things don't go as planned, we might discover unexpected joys that we never imagined. Instead of feeling frustrated, we can look for the hidden opportunities in these surprises.
