“The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people’s opinions.”
— Paulo Coelho

Simplified Meaning:
To avoid making big mistakes, it’s important not to act too quickly or wait too long and miss a chance. Imagine you’re playing a game of chess. If you move your pieces without thinking, you might lose a key piece. But if you take too long to decide, you might miss the chance to win. Just like a skilled chess player thinks carefully about each move because every game is different, you should approach each situation in your life as something new and special. Don’t just follow the same old rules or always listen to what others say without thinking for yourself. By thinking this way, you can make better decisions and avoid those big mistakes.
