“It's smart to be stupid sometimes, and losing can be your victory.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from Questions Asked, chapter 3
In other words
A choice can look foolish to everyone watching and still be right for the person who must live it. Other people judge from the outside, often using an older picture of what that person wanted. Knowing oneself can change the meaning of gain and loss. Turning down a long-awaited offer may seem like throwing success away, but the offer may belong to a life that no longer fits. What appears to be losing can protect a newer and deeper happiness.
Intelligence is not always choosing what looks most valuable. Sometimes it is accepting the appearance of foolishness rather than betraying what experience has taught. The victory lies in remaining true to the life that has become clear from within.
