Life Lessons Quote by Luigi Mangione — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“lol”

“All of the suggestions in this book, from questioning traditional career advice to re-evaluating the minutea of everyday living, stem from Tim’s disdain for simply accepting things because “that’s the way they are.” I believe that’s why this book resonated with me so strongly, as I’ve shared this frame of mind since I was a kid.”

“I’m reminded of a long-standing debate at my childhood dinner table. Whenever we’d eat steak, I would use my knife in my left hand and my fork in my right, which would infuriate my mother. She’d remind me to cut with my right hand since I was right-handed and to switch my fork to my right hand for each bite. When pressed for a reason, she’d reply “because that’s how to cut”. Dissatisfied, I’d press further. She’d reply “because that’s proper manners”.”

“Move like a car under cruise control. Do not be distracted by the nearby noise. Enjoy the journey, it is yours.”

“Where growth is missing, open doors shall be found lacking.”

“Where I will find peace other than in oblivion?”

“Truth is relevant only in its subservience to life.”

“That is life, isn’t it? Fate. Luck. Chance. A long series of what-if’s that lead from one moment to the next, time never pausing for you to catch your breath, to make sense of the cards that have been handed to you. And all you can do is play your cards and hope for the best, because in the end, it all comes back to those three basics.”

“To suffer without complaint is the only lesson we have to learn in this life”
