I’m looking for a new set of dice, my last two sets are lucked out (low rolls constantly) so I think they need a little rest. I’m struggling to find a good dice website with a wide selection... where’s everyone’s favourite place to buy their sets?
I’ve just started reading this again for the second time. God I love this book! Luke is such an awful person and a real asshole but I love him anyway. This book was recommended to me and I urge anybody who hasn’t read it to do so! I really liked it when he tried to get his children to join in and the chapters about The Dice Centres were great- absolute mayhem. Anybody else want to live the dice life?? What would be the worst that could happen?!
Title explains basically everything, I might be able to provide more information if needed. I remember watching it not too long ago, (I think on youtube) the video was really interesting and I would like to watch it again. Edit: I remember the guys uncle? being a b-list actor and I think the movie was about a magician? or something similar.
“…Man is capable of changing the world for the better if possible, and of changing himself for the better if necessary
Let me cite the case of Dr. J. He was the only man I ever encountered in my whole life whom I would dare to call a Mephistophelean being, a satanic figure. At that time he was generally called "the mass murderer of Steinhof" (the large mental hospital in Vienna). When the Nazis started their euthanasia program, he held all the strings in his hands and was so fanatic in the job assigned to him that he tried not to let one single psychotic individual escape the gas chamber. After the war, when I came back to Vienna, I asked what had happened to Dr. J. "He had been imprisoned by the Russians in one of the isolation cells of Steinhof," they told me. "The next day, however, the door of his cell stood open and Dr. J. was never seen again." Later I was convinced that, like others, he had with the help of his comrades made his way to South America. More recently, however, I was consulted by a former Austrian diplomat who had been imprisoned behind the Iron Curtain for many years, first in Siberia and then in the famous Lubianka prison in Moscow. While I was examining him neurologically, he suddenly asked me whether I happened to know Dr. J. After my affirmative reply he continued: "I made his acquaintance in Lubianka. There he died, at about the age of forty, from cancer of the urinary bladder. Before he died, however, he showed himself to be the best comrade you can imagine! He gave consolation to everybody. He lived up to the highest conceivable moral standard. He was the best friend I ever met during my long years in prison!" This is the story of Dr. J., "the mass murderer of Steinhof." How can we dare to predict the behaviour of man” – Victor Frankl
Doctor Frankl survived 4 concentration camps and the book Man's search for meaning was born during that time.So yeah. It's not exactly a self-help book but I re-read to myself this quote and others like it when I feel like I will be a loser forever casue I never do enough. Forgive the past and look for the future kinda thing:
“… every human being has the freedom to change at any instant. ….”
This is my version of a motivational quote I suppose.
Do you have any book like that - but something that gave you useful words and keeps you going in spite of not being meant as a self-help book?Idk why I finde ww2 books incredibly useful in that regard.Sorry if this is off topic
