Nobody can deny that it's a jungle out there... and jungles are ruled by just one law: Survival of the fittest! People will lie through their teeth, cheat, steal and do whatever it takes to get exactly what they want... the stronger will always take advantage of the weakling... some people will get a lot for nothing... some people will get nothing for a lot... that's the way it is and no one can ever change it. The key to survival is adaptation... those who refuse to adapt wither and die... or get eaten alive... that is why, you need to know how to play the game right...
Let me make a point here... bear with me for a while
What events come to mind when you think of the Olympics? Gymnastics? Swimming? Decathlon? Track and Field? maybe... Weightlifting?... but does anybody ever think about such Olympic events as Badmington, Sailing and Ping Pong?... Well, a Gold Medal in Badmington may not be as glamorous as a Gold Medal in Decathlon or Gymnastics... but it's still a Gold Medal... and I think it's much better to win a Gold Medal in Badmington than to compete in swimming and finish dead last. Don't go chasing waterfalls...
Also... expect to get rubber checks every now and then... so, only take cash and never give credit... if you blink for a moment, people will use that for their own advantage!
Count your blessings as they may not be there tomorrow.... nothing lasts forever and we all know hearts can change... at any time try to keep your losses at a minimum... and most importantly of all... stay focused and keep your head cool!!!
And always be prepared for that inevitable day when somebody says...
"The tribe has spoken! You're the weakest link!... Goodbye!"
