No failure in the game of life （

(文末附有机器翻译)

If we spend our time, energy and resources on the phantoms of life, like pop culture, gossip, celebrity news, video games, status, money, chasing after luxury and food, etc., we will only get superficial happiness and become increasingly insatiable and disappointed, ending up being disillusioned.

No matter how hard we try, if we're preoccupied with the above-mentioned petty human stuff, we will be playing a game that we can never win. However, if we are concentrated on pursuing health, growth and investment in ourselves, we learn, we execute and we create. It's almost impossible for us to lose the game of life.

The key point is we have to play this constructive game of life consistently, and we have to motivate ourselves to play the game, because others won't do it for us. Moreover, we must be disciplined enough, to say no to all of the irrelevant petty human activities and to connect with the joy of being disciplined and doing our daily tasks vigorously. To have a productive, creative workday, we should work on the things that are most meaningful for us to create profound joys in life. For example, meditating rigorously, hitting the gym consistently, learning new things, reading books, and consuming high-quality information.

By doing all these, it’s impossible that we fail in playing the game of life.

如何在人生的游戏中立于不败之地

如果我们把时间、精力和资源都花在生活的浮云上，如流行文化、八卦、名人新闻、电子游戏、地位、金钱、追逐奢侈品和饮食上的享乐等，我们只会得到肤浅的快乐，变得越来越贪得无厌，越来越失望，最后心灰意冷。

无论我们如何努力，如果我们专注于上述的琐事，我们就是在玩儿一个永远无法获胜的游戏。然而，如果我们专注于追求健康、成长和对自己的投资，去学习，去执行，去创造。那么我们几乎不可能在人生的游戏中输掉。

关键是，我们必须持续地玩这个建设性的人生游戏，必须自我激励，因为别人不会为我们这样做。此外，我们必须足够自律，对所有无关紧要的杂事说不，并与自律和大力完成日常任务的快乐联系在一起。为了达成一个富有成效的、创造性的工作日，应该在对我们最有重要意义的事情上下功夫，在生活中创造深刻的快乐。例如，严格冥想，坚持去健身房，学习新事物，阅读书籍，消费高质量的信息。

做到这些，我们就不可能在人生的游戏中失败。
