Today when I was returning from the university, I had a chance to glance through a book. Let me share the gleanings today:
Title: If Life is A Game, These Are the Rules
Author: Cherie Carter-Scott
Rule Two: You will be presented with lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "life." Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.
Rule Three: There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation, a series of trials, errors, and occasional victories. The failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that work.
Rule Four: A lesson is repeated until learned. Lessons will repeated to you in various forms until you have learned them. When you have learned them, you can then go on to the next lesson.
Rule Five: Learning does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
Rule Six: "There" is no better than "here." When your "there" has become a "here," you will simply obtain a "there" that will look better to you than your present "here."
Rule Seven: Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
Rule Eight: What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you.
Rule Nine: Your answers lie inside of you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
Rule Ten: You will forget all of this at birth. You can remember it if you want by unraveling the double helix of inner knowing.
In addition, I liked the inspirational quotes that were utilized to help drive home some of the author's many points . . . among them:
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.--Eleanor Roosevelt
Life doesn't require that we be the best-only that we try our best.--H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.--Thomas Edison
Good work.
Title: If Life is A Game, These Are the Rules
Author: Cherie Carter-Scott
I found this short book to be most thought-provoking and one that I will want to revisit--often.
There were several memorable passages . . . however, methinks that you'll most enjoy just thinking about the various rules that follow:
Rule One: You will receive a body. You may love it or hate it, but it will be yours for the duration
of your life on Earth.
Rule Two: You will be presented with lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "life." Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.
Rule Three: There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation, a series of trials, errors, and occasional victories. The failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that work.
Rule Four: A lesson is repeated until learned. Lessons will repeated to you in various forms until you have learned them. When you have learned them, you can then go on to the next lesson.
Rule Five: Learning does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
Rule Six: "There" is no better than "here." When your "there" has become a "here," you will simply obtain a "there" that will look better to you than your present "here."
