Nineteen Minutes- Jodi Picoult


"Whether or not you believe in Fate comes down to one thing: who you blame when something goes wrong. Do you think it's your fault- that if you'd tried better, or worked harder, it wouldn't have happened? Or do you just chalk it up to circumstances?

I know people who'll hear about the people who died, and will say it was God's will. I know people who'll say it was bad luck. And then there's my personal favorite: They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time." (from a crazy good book: Nineteen Minutes"

"If we don't change the direction we are headed,
we will end up where we are going." -Chinese Proverb

Well since I don't feel like blah'ing about this new awesome book I picked up, I'll just nag about something else, just like everyone else does in their blogs: People shouldn't sulk, sulking is a made up word to excuse people to make themselves feel bad. When something bad happens we grieve, which appropriately should last for a day, a week max. After that no matter how bad the situation is, life goes on, regardless if you want it too or not.

I really didn't want this post to be emo, the quote just made me wonder: Are most people dissatisfied with their lives because they set themselves up, or does America just dream too much.
