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

I wish I was curvy. If I gain weight, they just all go to my face and I look like Jigglypuff, if I try to get toned, I get bulky (while some ladies can pull it off, I can’t). I just have to accept that I’ll always be this flabby shapeless person 😔

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent. They are in no way poor at this moment in time, and in my opinion it’s f*cked up to demand your child pay rent. I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.

Does anybody find Sneako hot? Forget if you are for or against his views, just by his appearance do you think he is hot? I feel like he hypes himself too much and tries too hard to be like the Tates. He is a follower not a leader. He doesn’t seem genuine or believe in any word he is saying.

Does anyone else feel a hollownees with their lives?

We create targets for ourselves, then race to chase them down. Be it for a better career, money or a much higher standard of living. But I guess our youth pays a price for it. Not sure if this us just me or does anyone else resonates with this. For everything that I wanted to have and do have now, I feel just very hollow.
