So it doesn't matter, if you are 19 or a 105, discipline is a practice, you gain it through experience and practice.
Playing the right cards in the hole I find, is thee, most important part of the game, don't play manure cards, that's why you're losing dumb, dumb. I'm the first, number one and biggest dumb, dumb, so don't think I am only addressing YOU. Yeah you! Have patience, wait, read, talk, eat, wait for the right cards, you know what they are; you know which ones you should play, wait, then, ATTACK.
You see, Poker is war but not really. That is why I find it so fascinating. Poker's better than chess, yes it is. Kidding, don't really know how to play chess.
I, again, became carried away and lost it ALL, my friends. Don't do it, learn from me...I will not do it again, even, if I have to write it on my hand, I will write "dumb, dumb" so I could remember to leave when I have won. "In poker, as in life, discipline trumps guile." The "Man" said that, I'll tell you about him later, I forgot to ask him what "guile" means.
The Man is based on a real person; the Man represents self discipline and strength of character. So the next time you feel weak and you feel like you're going to get carried away and lose it all, draw strength from your Man, even, if you're a woman...Remember sister that man is within the wo-man...We are one. If you're a woman who doesn't get this, PLEASE DO NOT READ ON, let's call it right here, I'm not the right columnist for you, no hard feelings.
Draw strength from your Man and other Men who are wise and strong. The following is by one of the best Man I have in my life:
"One of the difficulties we face in our industrialized age is the fact we've lost our sense of seasons. Unlike the farmer whose priorities change with the seasons, we have become impervious to the natural rhythm of life. As a result, we have our priorities out of balance. Let me illustrate what I mean:
For a farmer, springtime is his most active time. It's then when he must work around the clock, up before the sun and still toiling at the stroke of midnight. He must keep his equipment running at full capacity because he has but a small window of time for the planting of his crop. Eventually winter comes when there is less for him to do to keep him busy.
There is a lesson here. Learn to use the seasons of life. Decide when to pour it on and when to ease back, when to take advantage and when to let things ride. It's easy to keep going from nine to five year in and year out and lose a natural sense of priorities and cycles. Don't let one year blend into another in a seemingly endless parade of tasks and responsibilities. Keep your eye on your own seasons, lest you lose sight of value and substance." Until next time-"Striving for perfection is the greatest stopper there is. It's your excuse to yourself for not doing anything. Instead, strive for excellence, doing your best."
-Sir Laurence Olivier
