This week, we’ll continue with ‘If life is a game, these are the rules’ by Cherie Carter-Scott

Rule 4: A lesson is repeated until learned: There are six basic steps to executing any change in your life. They are
1) awareness — — becoming conscious of the pattern or issue
2) acknowledgment — — admitting that you need to release the pattern
3) choice — — actively selecting to release the pattern
4) strategy — — creating a realistic plan
5) commitment — — taking action, aided by external accountability
6) celebration — — rewarding yourself for succeeding

If you truly want to change, you will choose to do it, and make a commitment to the process of it. In other words, following your inner compass results in choice. However, if you rely on the thought that you should change, you will make the decision to do so and then you will feel the pinch of sacrifice.

Rule 5: Learning does not end: The challenge of this rule is to embrace your role as a perpetual student of life. Being a student opens up worlds of possibilities that are invisible to those who are unwilling to accept this role.

Paradigms (事物) change over time, and so must you. Your company may restructure, and you will have to survive. Your spouse may choose to leave the marriage, and you will have to cope. Flexibility allows you to be ready for whatever curve lies ahead in life instead of getting blindsided by it.

Rule 6: ‘There’ is no better than ‘Here’: Feeling desire assumes a sense of dissatisfaction and brings about suffering. The way to happiness is to eliminate desire and the way to eliminate desire is to eliminate attachments. Unattachment (平常心) means you are not bound by your expectations of how things should turn out, and that you are willing to let go.

一. 加密貨幣開始被金融人主導, 是因為他們才有本事印張紙然後高價賣給你。

二. 加密貨幣只是區塊鏈的一部分, 區塊鏈與加密貨幣不會「玩完」, 只是未知真正會如何玩。這麼多人前仆後繼, 要看誰最後跑出。
