The loose-loose-game; unwinnable scenario!!!




The loose-loose-game; unwinnable scenario!!!

Couple of years ago, I witnessed a game between a young girl and her elder sister. In this game, a stone is hidden in one palm of the sister, the hand is sent back and the stone left on a chair without the kid’s knowledge. The two hands are brought forward again simultaneously and the kid is asked to guess which hand contains the stone. She never got any of the chances right because the stone is in neither of the two palms. I call this game ‘the loose-loose-game’. It is an unwinnable scenario!

Some youths instead of striving harder towards achieving their set goals, have entrusted their future in the hands of some families and friends who they thought will assist them in the course of their lives. Unfortunately some of these relatives do not carry them to their desired destination. In the long run, they only give ‘tangible’ excuses whenever they are approached. Like the kid who couldn’t win in ‘the loose-loose- game’, you too can never go higher in life when you indulge in the blame game and entrust your future in the hands of wrong people. So get up and start fighting for your own future!
