What are the rules of the game-Part 1

What are the rules of the game? If you want to play to win then you must know the rules of the game. In every game there are rules. Be it a game in sports, politics, work, life or even relationships, it doesn’t matter, as long as we are going to play it, we have to know the rules.

Knowing the rules of the game doesn’t mean we have to follow them in order to win. Remember what I said in the second sentence, if you want to play to win then you must know the rules of the game. Some people win by playing according to the rules, while some others win by breaking the rules. It all boils down to what our individual definitions of winning is. For each and every one of us, winning can be different things. For me it may be having a lot of money to spend when I am old and for Tiger Woods it may be a hole-in-one at the US PGA championships.

The universal first rule of any game, in my opinion, no matter what game you are playing is, to make a commitment to participate fully and wholeheartedly and not quit until the game is over.
