THE GAME OF LIFE

The game of life is a wonderful invention. You choose the players, you determine the rules. You decide when to play it. You set the rewards. You decide when you win and why you win. You are the master. You choose your colours, you choose your symbol, you choose your destiny.

The billion dollar question is.... "Why do we make it so much harder for ourselves?" I am writing this because I was "encouraged" and "discouraged" with some stuff I experienced in Macau!

I was encouraged : I saw so many people made it! I met many fantastic performers, so positive, so willing to learn. I talked to quite afew champions...who made it despite of the odds. I witnessed for myself, the QCE president...2nd year running....she was only a clerk in CPF back room support!

I was discouraged : I saw champions who were rude and inconsiderate - why do they need to be arrogant to prove their superiority? I witness champions who make themselves small when they are really big. I chance upon negative energy despite the positive setting. I saw an Eagle turned into a chicken.

Yes, both winners and losers made it to Macau! They are winners in Prudential's and everyone else's eyes.... but they are losers in their own. Why are these people so stubborn stupid to set rules in their Game Of Life that will almost guarantee that they will lose? Have they forgotten that in the GOL, they set their own rules?

I challenge everybody...before you get upset, ask yourself the following 7 questions:

1) Where is this issue on a scale of 1 to 10?

2) How important will this issue be in 6 month's time?

3) Is my response appropriate and effective?

4) How can I influence or improve the situation

5) What can I learn from this?

6) What will I do differently the next time?

7) What can I find that is positive in this situation?

And if you are honest with your answers, you will realise that you can play your Game of Life well.... so long as you put things into perspective.
