• Resumen

  • In an early chapter in The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien, Frodo laments having found the one Ring and Gandalf tries to console him by saying, “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” This is one of my favorite quotes in the Lord of the Rings series because it inspires us to rise to the occasion and perform to the best of our abilities. It also implies that that we have a purpose to fulfill within a predetermined time period.
