Day 46 Till I Die

 

May 16th, 2025

Hello love,

Do you know the game I usually play? It's a shooting game with individual and team tasks. The team tasks have given me some interesting insights.

When paired with someone, there are two possible outcomes: win or lose. We're usually paired with players who have weapons of a similar level, but that doesn't guarantee victory.  We need partners with similar skill levels; a great weapon is wasted in unskilled hands.

When I have an unskilled partner, it can be frustrating. I often end up carrying the team to victory.  They contribute, but not significantly.

In short, here’s my analogy, drawn from my shooting game experience: The teamwork and strategic thinking needed to win a team-based game perfectly mirror the dynamics of a successful relationship. My mind is so random!

Having a partner who shares your values, goals, and vision for the relationship is crucial for long-term success.  Just as mismatched skills and strategies in a game lead to frustration and defeat, mismatched expectations or views on commitment in a relationship cause similar problems.

Finding a compatible partner—someone who shares your life goals, communication style, and understanding of what a relationship should be—is like finding the perfect team. It significantly increases the chances of a lasting and fulfilling partnership. It's not just about individual strengths, but the synergy and collaborative effort.

Do you agree?

By the way, I cooked noodles (again!) for breakfast this morning.  Yes, I know, I'm in a rut!  I just didn't know what I wanted. I have so many noodles in my cupboard! Haha. But I had rice and chicken for lunch and dinner, so I think it's okay.

I'm learning Japanese from a course on edX. I've been enrolled for a while, but the access is time-limited, and that limit is approaching.  So, I'm trying to learn as quickly as possible. I know I won't master it in one go, and I want to focus on my English and Mandarin first. But there's no harm in trying.

I wrote an article about the movie M3GAN. Have you seen it?  Please read my review on my other post.

That's all for today. See you if there is tomorrow.
