Eeyore Or Tigger

Just finished reading The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.  It's a good book containing good life lessions.  Read it if you get a chance. It will make you think, laugh, and cry.

One particular chapter talks about how you get to choose whether or not you go through life as Eeyore or as Tigger.  I don't think we get to choose.  I think for some of us, it is easier to be Eeyore and for others it is easier being Tigger.  Neither type tends to like the other.  But, it's always the Tiggers saying you get to choose. Something to think about.  Depending on which one you are, you'll spin it a different way when you think about it.

Not that it matters.

  1. Tiggers always think it is easy to be a Tigger. I don't think they 'get' it. It is easy to think happiness is a choice when you are happy. I saw a book at B&N that I'm interested in, so I thought I'd suggest it here. 'The Noonday Demon'. Take a look and see if you might get something from it. I can't recommend yet as I haven't read more than a couple of pages in the store.

  2. I'm going to assume that you meant this Noonday Demon and not this one.

    Of course, on the off chance that you meant this one, I'm highly offended. Of course, that's probably the one I need the most.

    Thanks for the tip. Keep me posted if you read it. And, watch for one of the three on my Observations shelf.
