Every game, and almost every life situation, has short cuts: ways you can get better without learning the entire literature of the game from beginning to end.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I'm in the car after a bad game, I may think about ways I need to improve. But the second I reach home, the game's over. Work doesn't come inside with me. Same thing in reverse - I don't bring my personal life into the ballpark. Learning to keep it all separate has made life easier.
Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That's truly about the game, and in some ways that's about life too.
I learn something new every game. Every game is always different, no matter how you try and think about it beforehand.
The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can't let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.
The easiest thing in the world is to succeed. You can't help it if you follow the rules and play the game the best way you know how according to yourself, instead of according to the one next to you, or above you, or somewhere away from you.
By playing games you can artificially speed up your learning curve to develop the right kind of thought processes.
In every aspect of life, have a game plan, and then do your best to achieve it.
Play the game for more than you can afford to lose... only then will you learn the game.
I just have to move forward and keep working on my game and getting better.
You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
