"Pour nous, il n'y a que l'essai, le reste ne nous regarde pas."

T. S. Eliot

Simplified Meaning:

This saying means that our job is to make an effort and try our best in whatever we do, but we shouldn’t worry too much about the results. For example, imagine you are planting a garden. You can choose good seeds, water them, and take care of them, but you can't control how fast they grow or if it will rain the right amount. The important part is your effort in caring for the plants. In our lives, this idea helps us focus more on what we can control and less on things we can't. If you are preparing for an exam, you should study hard and do your best. Whether you get a perfect score or not, what's important is that you tried your hardest. By focusing on your actions and not stressing over the outcomes, you can reduce anxiety and live more peacefully.
