C'mon, take a little gamble.

For those of you who live in a little island called Singapore, you would probably know that the lottery craze is on now because the grand prize is worth S$10 million!

I, of course, as part of my early retirement plan, have bought tickets for the draw. I was working late as usual and was replying to a message a friend had sent, writing to him about how I was anticipating the draw coz if I am one of the lucky big winners in this draw, I would probably never have to work late again!

His reply was that he was never supportive of gambling which is why he would never buy lottery tickets. He, being only an acquintance, so I shall not be too quick to pass judgement on his reply. But his reply did get me thinking.

Personally, I think everyone is a gambler and our life is the biggest game of chance we will ever play. Before making any decision, I am sure everyone weighs the odds and there is always opportunity cost involved in every decision that we make. I think we all take daily gambles in hope of bigger dreams. I work hard because I think that gaining all this experience now will make me more valuable in the marketplace tomorrow. But by spending so much time working, I am putting many things on hold. Its a gamble I take. As valuable as I might be, I may have passed up opportunities now which I will never have again and which I may regret later, but that is a chance I take.

I am sure everyone out there is playing their respective games of chance and finding their own way to their pot of gold. A person only has 24 hours a day and there is only that much a person can accomplish in a day so we take chances, pass up opportunities and live to regret some of the choices that we make. However, we play on, coz we know that in this game of chance, we win some and lose some. But if we stay true to our dreams, we will always be the winner in our game of chance.

So to my fellow gamblers out there, may we all find our own pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and wish each other well in our game of chance!!
