Not every lesson in life comes with a syllabus or a heads up or even context. The stages of life may look predictable, but the lessons are uncertain.
Some phases of life feel green and gentle while some make you bleed without warning. One such lesson is knowing whom to close a deal with. And I’m not talking about negotiation skills but about the people.
The kind you sign contracts with or trust with work or stay emotionally invested in. There’s no good or bad people here, just capability. The ability to see moves you don’t and to shape outcomes you think you’re choosing.
It is quite hard to play games with people who know exactly what they want or who think in game theory. They play chess while you’re still learning the rules. Logan Roy types. They predict, position, and close the deal.
Then, what is the safest option here?
Don’t play with them at all. But if you wish/choose to learn, then play consciously. Only after building enough backup to survive the fall that usually follows down the line.
Not every game shows itself before you sit at the table! Fair enough right? Lol
Cheers
