04/07 Genesi (Day 37)
Today I finished reading a book that I started a month ago and it was very good, especially 2 sentences struck me.
-
“It’s harder to lose in a game where you make the rules, when you decide you take control, make that your goal”
-
“Imagine a speck of dust near a planet billions of times the size of the earth, the speck represents the probability in favor of your birth, the huge planet against it. Stop worrying about trivial things, remember that you are a black Swan”
The first sentence struck me as I had forgotten my way of seeing life as a game, mostly because I have always seen it as a game but never as my game, where I can actually write my own rules and be in control.
I decided to reflect further on this point and see what insights it can give me
The second sentence instead reminded me that we often forget how rare our presence is here, after years we take it for granted but if we lived knowing that we were so lucky to be born and still be here and healthy then it would change the approach to life.
In reality, the whole book taught me a lot and helped me change/add some points of view, but these are the ones I feel I have to focus on
