When I grip the wheel too tight, I find I lose control.

When I grip the wheel too tight, I find I lose control.

Summary

This quote suggests that trying to have too much control over a situation can actually lead to a loss of control. By gripping the wheel metaphorically too tightly, it implies holding on too tightly to power or trying to micromanage every aspect of a situation. This excessive control can be counterproductive and can hinder the ability to adapt and navigate effectively. It serves as a reminder to find a balance between control and flexibility in order to maintain control in the most efficient and effective way.
