After all, the only way to overcome pain is to first learn how to bear it.”

“A beleza do pôquer é que, embora a sorte esteja sempre envolvida, ela não determina os resultados a longo prazo. Uma pessoa pode receber uma mão horrível e vencer alguém com uma mão sensacional. A pessoa que recebe boas cartas tem uma probabilidade maior de ganhar, é claro, mas, no final das contas, o vencedor é determinado pelas — sim, você adivinhou — escolhas que faz ao longo do jogo. Eu vejo a vida da mesma forma. Todos nós recebemos cartas aleatórias no início do jogo, alguns, cartas melhores. E, embora seja fácil nos fixar no que está na mão e sentir que nos ferramos, na verdade o jogo está nas escolhas que fazemos com essas cartas, nos riscos que decidimos correr e nas consequências com as quais escolhemos viver. Quem, de maneira consistente, faz as melhores escolhas diante das situações que se apresentam acaba ganhando no pôquer, e na vida. Não necessariamente quem tem as melhores cartas.”
