the famous American speaker and writer, he said something similar

Post by jrineakter »

So, not only in poker and in life, we will see that there is an analogy with life, we can say that the important thing is not what we have at the beginning, it is not the events, it is not chance that counts, it is what we do with what we have received. That is the first thing. And the second lesson is that we can sometimes have bad cards or we can have the impression that something bad is happening to us, but the evolution of life makes the bad become good in the end.

So, those are the two big points that inspire me when I hear this quote in the ad: "The important thing in poker is not the cards, it's what you do with them."

So, I'm a little out of breath. I'm walking on a path that goes up a lot, because there's another path that I usually go by, but there's tall grass and I'm wearing shorts. And yesterday, when I went by there, I got ticks. It's this little insect that can be dangerous. So, I decided to go by the path that goes up, but I'll soon be at the top and I won't be out of breath anymore.

And so, this approach a little bit of the two notions that I just shared with you, it's very close to what the Stoics taught, more than 2000 years ago. It's true for life too.

By the way, Jim Rohn, whom I often quote, It was pretty much the same idea as what Patrick Bruel said in this ad. He said: "The important thing is not what happens to us, but what we do with it." Exactly the same idea. The important thing is not the events, it's not the things that happen to us, it's what we do with them. So, for him, actions are superior to events. You can't say: "I'm unlucky, therefore I fail," because everyone, in one way or another, has bad luck. And you can't say: "He succeeded because he's lucky," because, once again, in one way or another, everyone, at some point, has a bit of luck. That's what Jim Rohn said anyway.

In addition to that, there is the aspect of what we were saying in the second point, that is to say sometimes we start with a handicap, and this handicap becomes an asset. There are a japan whatsapp number data lot of stories of famous people who have really succeeded, enormously succeeded in their career. So, it can be artists, singers, athletes, etc. people who have really achieved exceptional things, but who had a handicap at the start. It can be a physical handicap, it can be a moral handicap in terms of education, poverty, etc. And so, life has made it so that what seemed to be a disadvantage for them, a weakness for them, has simply become a strength.

It reminds me of my daughter Emma, ​​who has what is called "dyslexia" and also "dysorthographia". Dyslexia is a difficulty reading, learning to read, and dysorthographia is a difficulty mastering the rules of spelling. It's something that we detected very early, well, quite early. It could have been even earlier if her teacher at the time, when she was in CP, had helped us, but in any case, we helped Emma very early, supported Emma via speech therapists, professionals who helped her learn, etc. And this weakness has turned into a strength, because today she works very, very well at school, she has put methods in place, she works a lot, obviously, it pushes her to work a lot, whereas someone who has a lot of ease in learning could work less.
