KNOW YOUR GAME

It is human tendency to compare ourselves. But have you ever thought whether your game is similar to their game.

Certain people are made for certain work, this we must understand. 

Let's understand this by example: certain people do good when rules of the same are decided by people like in a school. In school, you are judged solely on the basis of your performance given in those standard 3 hours examination which are framed by one human for another to judge his or her skills.

Few people perform better under this game but few fail. I would call this as finite game, where person actually know in advance what is his or her competition, sound simple. Isn't it?

But in reality life does not work like this. There is no question paper, no predetermined rules and you are not aware with whom you are competing. This is what I would call as infinite games. Business is the best example to understand infinite games. In business, you do not know how long you will survive, what will be the fate of your products / services regardless of how much hard work you are putting in your business. Market is merciless.

Therefore, few people probably doing good where you fail horribly. 

At the outset, you must ask yourself - Am I in a right game?

This is the basic reason why people fail in actual world once they are graduated or complete their education. Till school they are facing controlled enviornment. They know rules of the game in advance but when they face reality they get 240 watt electric shock.

Thumb rule is always ask yourself - Am I in right game or just following herd.
