do your best
“Everything, I’ve got it, now I’m definitely putting 2 balls for 7 hits,” I say to the fourth installment of billiards with a friend. And out of the 5 following strokes, I’m really putting 4. One of which is “brother-in-law”, with a good deflection, where the angle of departure does not exceed, in my partial view, and 50 degrees from direct movement. The nightly build starts at 2, and, although the last shuttle to the subway, where I’m leaving, will leave long before it, some kind of insurmountable obligation to put changes into storage before the build makes me work faster, less and less tea and nicotine. $ 6 paid for participating in a poker tournament requires me to pay back immediately. And I play super right, tight ( poker. ), And $ 25 for a win is a good confirmation of this.
Often, when restrictions on freedom of error are imposed on us, we mobilize, begin to act more effectively. These restrictions do not have to be external, they can go from the inside. It is enough to gather oneself, forbidding oneself to make mistakes, and the mind itself begins to act correctly, sometimes subconsciously choosing the right steps.
Experienced poker players know that the positive balance in the game does not consist of rare enchanting combinations, but of a stable, correct play of medium strength hands. In life, everything goes according to the same scenario. It is obvious to all that top managers (Nobel laureates, outstanding athletes) become not by lot, but as a result of long and painstaking work that does not bring payback that corresponds to the spent efforts within 95% of the way, and only in the last 5% money comes , respect and everything else. And to go through these 95% you need a huge internal concentration, concentration and focus on the end point of the path.
In small battles of everyday life (the party in billiards, finishing a piece of work today, not tomorrow), the end point is not so obvious, and the benefits of achieving it are not immediately apparent. Not everyone has the tactical foresight to look for tomorrow, and to understand that 30 times unfinished work gives a month delay in terms, that $ 6 lost 100 times when playing poker gives a tangible part of the salary. Therefore, it becomes even more important to concentrate and gather even when the pros and cons of victories and defeats in small battles are not so obvious. Losing in small, it is difficult to expect victory in large, because it consists of local victories.
