Straight Roads Are For Fast Cars, Turns Are For Fast Drivers

The internet attributes this quote to the late WRC champion Colin "If In Doubt, Flat Out" McRae. Perhaps inadvertently, McRae teaches us the importance of staying nimble and learning how to capitalize on your opportunities. If straight-line speed represents what's possible, and turns represent adversity, McRae's advice can apply to what one's ability to handle bad times says about their character and talent. It's like the old seaman's saying, "a smooth sea never made a skillful mariner." In the end, we'll all be judged by how we handled the rough bits.
In tribute to McRae, I'll leave you with this quote from Scottish essayist Thomas Carlyle. "Adversity is the diamond dust with which Heaven polishes its jewels."
