The stupidest thing I do in my life is to follow my heart and also the smartest thing... I don't know how it manages to go almost always (not to be absolute) against reason. But I've certainly accumulated a couple of lessons. What life has in store for me in the future, what I decide to do... whether to change and stick more to reason, it will be seen.
That seems a fair statement, and those lessons you've accumulated will all generally help to make a better future.
