In the end, everyone loses — because you die. But until then, play to win. Don’t wimp out.
But playing to win is much more valuable than actually winning. Winning at best is a brief dopamine rush, like eating an ice cream cone. Just minutes later, the ice cream doesn’t matter anymore. And in the end, winning has no value because in the end, we are all going to be losers — we are all going to die, so what value do your wins have then? None.
Yet playing to win has a lot of value because it gives you a commendable standard to live by — a bright light in the darkness of life.
So always play to win, even though you know winning has no great value.
