You can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut destiny life karma whatever. This approach has never let me down and it has made all the difference in my life.
I don't care what other people think as long as I am happy. The day I die or retire I have blown all my chances because I don't have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.
