Lessons from Solitaire

When I was in Abu Dhabi, I played a lot of Solitaire on my laptop, because there were times where there was really nothing to do. I will always play the Las Vegas 3 cards format. My colleague commented that it is all about luck. No doubt to win, there must be luck involved as there will be situations where it is impossible to win. However, why is there a need to win everytime? Since the score are cumulative, during games where the cards are not as what we will like them to be, we should instead sought to minimise the losses by scoring as much points as possible, and wait patiently for a subsequent game that will allow us to make a killing.

This is true about life too. Things will seldom be perfectly suited to our liking. Instead of quitting just because things aren't as what we expected, we should make the best out of what is available, get as much as we can from it, and always prepare ourselves to go for the kill when things are right.
