Life is Like a Slot Machine

I’ve been procrastinating lately. Maybe because I’ve been hanging out with friends in Resorts World almost every other day playing slots. I hate to say this, but now I understand why people get addicted to gambling.

Who doesn’t want that chance to get instant money right? Good thing I could still control it and I just stick with my budget.

Yesterday morning I was playing Life of Luxury and won a small amount and moved to another machine. A lady sat on my previous station and guess what, she got the P597K or $12K Jackpot. It could have been me if I didn’t move to another machine.

Now I know why people gamble, it looks like an easy way to get rich… although to be honest… it’s not really that easy. As I have said above it’s a game of chance.

As I was sitting comfortably on one of the chairs, observing everything happening around me, I realize that the biggest gamble of all is our life.

Our decisions are like bets that we place hoping that would win the jackpot. We studied in college so that we could have more chances of getting a job. We worked hard so that we could get a promotion. We do small decisions every day that we all hope could make our lives better.

Life is a game of chance.

You need to risk to get what you’re aiming for.

Are you risking for something worth it?

  1. No point thinking ‘what-ifs’. Life happens and not everything needs to be a gamble. I hope you don’t end up getting addicted. Blogs are a far safer option to get addicted to :)

    That is so true… life is a game of chance and if we DONT take them then we aren’t playing at all.

    Life really is a series of risks that we take. Hopefully we get one to pay off big. I think the best thing you can do is just get in there and continue trying. If you sit back and wait for something big to happen to you, it never will. Life really is a game of chance.
