What it appears to be.

We cannot change the cards we are dealt with, just how we play the hand.
-Randy Pausch

The may seem an uplifting quote at first,
but as you sink deeper to think about it, it's actually quite heartbreaking because it speaks that we cannot change the cards we are dealt with, and different people are actually dealt with cards that are so different, so diverse, it makes things so complicated. Yes, you can decide how you play the hand, you might be able to see some new ways of arranging such that you can use your cards better, but there's a limit to how much you can do.

It's like someone born with a golden spoon in his mouth, getting the best opportunities one can ever get, stretching to his full potential.
That's the given cards, so perfect, like getting four 2s for daidee.
And the guy play the cards well, he excels in everything and yeah yeah.. you get it from there.

Then at the other player's side, the cards are so lousy.
Even if he is so optimistic, happy, dilligent in life,
there's only so much he can achieve.
And he probably did alot more to play his cards.

This leads on to opportunities.
Ok it's a never ending story..
Another think too much case, as usual.

I think people keep putting off the problem of "rich and poor"
because they immediately think about rich, MIGHT NOT BE HAPPY RIGHT?
just because someone said it in the past, then they thought it was logical and they kept reiterating without digesting.
that's what's happening in society nowadays.
repeating, copying and pasting, without digesting, understanding,thinking.
hmm, what if people are rich AND happy?


Then the rest we all go suck thumbs. yay.

I blog but you don't have to understand.
