"既然无法掌控事件，我就掌控自己。"
— Michel de Montaigne

Simplified Meaning:
When we can't control what happens around us, we can still control how we react. Think about it like this: Imagine you plan a picnic, but it starts to rain. You can't stop the rain, but you can decide not to let it ruin your day. Instead, you could have a fun indoor picnic or play games at home. This idea tells us to focus on our own actions and feelings, instead of worrying about everything else. By doing this, we stay calm and positive, no matter what. It means taking charge of our own behavior and emotions, instead of letting outside things dictate how we feel.
