Summary

This quote emphasizes the significance of the choices we make every day. Opening and closing doors metaphorically represent the opportunities and decisions that come our way. The actions we take, the doors we open and the ones we choose to close, shape the course of our lives. It suggests that each decision we make, no matter how seemingly small, has the potential to impact our future, determining the path we follow and the experiences we have. Therefore, being mindful and intentional about the doors we open and close is crucial in shaping the kind of life we want to live.

The world can doubtless never be well known by theory: practice is absolutely necessary; but surely it is of great use to a young man, before he sets out for that country, full of mazes, windings, and turnings, to have at least a general map of it, made by some experienced traveler.

But to choose it belongs to Another.
