Making mistakes and knowing when to change
"There is an age where you can force your nature sincerely and convice yourself, day after day, that you're following a necessary path when it leads you away from your deep wishes and makes you lose yourself. What is essential is to have enough energy left to change when the distance becomes suffering and you understand your mistake."
Jean-Christophe Rufin – Le Grand Coeur (Gallimard 2012)
