Lefty Tuesday-Be who you are


"Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise." as quoted by Lewis Carroll (pen name or Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), most famous for authoring Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, but did you know he was also a mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman, and photographer?
I interpret this to basically mean: be who you are and don't be fake! All that and he is a left hander...I am so proud to be part of this "club"

Luck


"The longer you play, the less luck is a factor. A single hand of poker is about 99 percent luck. After eight hours of playing, it is about 88 percent luck. Over a year, it is 10 percent luck. And, over a lifetime, perhaps only one percent is luck." as quoted by Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, professional poker player.
Same could be said about life!
