If I had gone on my own way?

“"I have said to my well-wishers, 'Thank you for the trouble that you are taking with me, but I am to go on my own way. If I fail, there will be one consolation - that I went on my own way and failed. But following you, even if I succeed, I will always repent: who knows what would have been the result, what would have been the outcome if I had gone on my own way?' " -Osho
