Poker Tournaments and Purpose
abracad, · Categories: purposePoker, like life, is a game of both skill and luck. If you enter a tournament many things are beyond your control: the opponents you'll be grouped with, the hands you'll be dealt, and the tactics you'll face.
In life, many things are beyond your control: the circumstances into which you are born, your own unique characteristics, and the various circumstances you'll face throughout the journey.
But despite the uncertainty, some players consistently do better than others. These are the players that make the most of the circumstances they are presented with. They don't win every hand, but they do know when to limit the damages and when to maximize their advantage.
Not everyone can reach the top in life (though the meaning of doing so is highly questionable), but we can each maximize our potential through the available choices within our given circumstances. And isn't that the true purpose of life?
