The trick is to listen to your instinct, grab the opportunity when it presents itself, and then give it your all. Like a hangover, neither triumphs nor disasters last forever. They both pass and a new day arrives.

L'histoire derrière cette citation
Mirren shared her own unconventional path: she never went to drama school, as she desperately wanted, but instead attended a teacher's training college. Her nephew left school at 16, became a bartender, then a plasterer, and ended up a successful writer in Hollywood. Both of them landed where they were supposed to be. The lesson wasn't about planning but about trusting your instincts and giving everything to whatever opportunity appears — while remembering that neither your best days nor your worst will last forever.
