Do you play “not to lose”, or do you play to win. In relationships and professionally?

Personally I play to win
Professionally I play to not lose
In relationships, I don't play around 😤

Not to lose. I'm just looking for a steady paycheck, boss.

Play to win. It’s one of the first dynamics in magic the gathering that separates fine players from good players. And as we all know, magic the gathering is a good allegory for life itself

Neither. Everything is a learning experience.

Both are self-focused. That is the opposite of how you develop a great relationship. You play to have a great relationship based on complete trust, where your partners needs are more important than yours. The greatest of that relationship comes back to you 10 fold. I wish I could inject some of that into young couples. The divorce rate would drop by 75%.

I play to win

I think a true "play to win" mentality requires both.

Not every play can be a QB blitz or touchdown pass. Sometimes you're looking to get that next down, or maybe just get into a position where you can get your next down on the next play, or make it to field goal range. Sometimes just running the clock is the best play to make.

Professionally - play to win
Personally - play so we both win as much as possible but at minimum try not to lose

Are you paying for bridesmaid hair and make-up? Was a little sticker shocked $200 per person before gratuity, just adds up quickly with that many people😬 Not requiring it but wanted to offer it if they want to be more glammed up, but now seeing online that’s it’s considered quite rude to not cover it for them? Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao
