Practice the Game of life

I appeared for a test unprepared. Despite my lack of preparation, I scored well in the tasks I was naturally good at. These were the tasks that resonated with the skills I had honed over time, the ones that mirrored the work I had been doing in my life lately. It felt reassuring to see my strengths reflected in the results.

However, there were also tests that I had never encountered before. The rules and instructions were provided, but they were foreign to tasks that resonated with the skills I had honed over time. I found myself struggling to grasp the concepts and apply them effectively. It was like trying to learn a new game while playing it. The pressure was immense, and I couldn’t practice enough to master it at the moment.

It was too late when I finally started to understand how to play the game. The test had ended, and I was left with a sense of unfinished business. It was a stark reminder of the importance of preparation and practice. They say rightly, “The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle.”

This experience taught me a valuable lesson. Life is full of tests, some expected and others unforeseen. While natural talent and past experiences can carry us through familiar challenges, it’s the unfamiliar ones that truly test our mettle. To succeed, we must be willing to put in the effort to practice and prepare, even for the unknown. Through this diligent preparation, we can face any challenge with confidence and resilience.

So how do we learn these lessons? These lessons are taught to us by the School of Life. We encounter small problems, we overcome them with developed mettle, and we are prepared for the bigger challenges in life. Each small victory builds our confidence and resilience, enabling us to tackle larger obstacles with greater ease. It’s a continuous cycle of growth and learning that shapes us into stronger individuals.

We should never be afraid to tackle the challenges or problems that come into our lives. We’re living in a world where we have so many resources at our fingertips, thanks to various social media platforms and other tools. Whenever you encounter a problem, face it head-on. Solve it and become better, so that you’re always prepared and don’t fear the tests that are coming next. Embrace each challenge as an opportunity to grow and improve, and you’ll find yourself ready for whatever life throws your way.
