“Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will.”
“Life isn't fair, so you have to play the best game you can with the cards you're dealt.”
“It doesn't matter what has happened to you, it matters what you do with what has happened to you. Life is like a poker game. You don't get to choose the cards you are dealt, but it's entirely up to you how to play the hand.”
“Life may deal you a bad hand or take away a good hand you were already dealt. The way you play the hand is how your life is defined. Just like in poker you can end up winning no matter how bad the cards are you have.”
“It's not about the cards you're dealt, but how you play the hand.”
“Life's tough," Mia said with a shrug. "You play the cards you're dealt or you fold.”
