“The only thing certain is nothing is certain.”
— Michel de Montaigne

Simplified Meaning:
Life is full of surprises and changes. We can make plans and predictions, but we can't be sure of what will really happen. Think of the weather: even when the forecast says it's going to be sunny, sometimes it still rains. In history, powerful empires that seemed too strong to fail eventually crumbled. So, realizing that nothing in the world is 100% certain can help us be more flexible and open-minded. When we understand that the future is unpredictable, we can better handle unexpected events and make the best of any situation. It reminds us to prepare for different outcomes and adapt when things don’t go as expected.
