Free Will

Jawaharial Nehru once said" Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism the way you play it is free will". Basically what it is trying to say is that in our hand there are choices, we choose the card we want to put down. I can agree with that quote because in the book " The warrior's heart" a man named Eric Greitens is faced with many choices throughout his life as being a teacher in China ,as a boxer, and as a Navy Seal. This can be clearly seen in this book as I explained it because Eric Greitens cards where those three that he put down. For example when Eric was a teacher in china and was teaching English to his students. He wondered if  that would help him change the world knowing more people form different countries. But later on he can see that after an incident that had happened, he realized it wasn't mean't for him.When he came back from china he decided to do something else.So he wanted to do boxing ,something that his grandfather has been telling him ever since he was kid. Later on he started putting the gloves on and found out that was for him but didn't know if thats what he wanted to do.After graduating Oxford he started researching the U.S Navy's Sea, Air, and Land teams.What caught his eye was the Navy Seals. He decided on it ,it offered an opportunity to lead and the chance to serve his country.But it would pay off for him in the future.
