“We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.”
(The Last Lecture - Randy Pausch)
The Last Lecture was written by Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Melon, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer. It covers topics far and wide with the underlying lessons of the importance of overcoming obstacles, enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment but most importantly, it was about living.
The first time I read this book, I flew through it without really internalizing anything. The Last Lecture is definitely going on my (very short) list of books to re-read - this time with highlighters and a notebook.
Here’s a question for my lovely bookish family. What book or books taught you an important lesson or left you with essential take aways? I would love to hear from you and even check out some of these titles!
Have an amazing Thursday loves! So close to the weekend

Life is like a game of cards full of surprises. With the roll of dice , we pay the price. We often have to make the best of what life throws our way. Sometimes, we have absolutely NO CONTROL over what happens to us in life. It could be a fatal disease, bankrupcy, death, or even a breakup. There is nothing we can do to change or influence the situation. However, WHAT WE DO with the cards we get, or HOW WE REACT to a life event makes all the difference in the world. Even though we can't control WHAT happens to us, we can control HOW we deal with it. You could give up, feel sorry for yourself, or do something constructive, like turn your mess into a message. —————————————————————
We cannot control the wind , but we can adjust the sails ⛵️. Sometimes we yield ; sometimes we don't. At the end of the day, the choices WE make dictate the life WE lead. So what’s it gonna be, skipper ✈️⛴? FRIGHT, FIGHT, or FLIGHT.
Freeze , face , or flee ♂️
When your very loyal, bright, and insightful patient gives you a fantastic book to read. Thank you so very much for being so insightful. Very unnecessary, but very appreciated.
