    Do you live your life more like a game of chess or more like a game of poker?

    I tend to live mine more like chess but I’ve noticed that poker people seem to find greater success and greater failure.

    I do mine like golf. Nobody really knows the rules, everybody cheats and there's lots of drinking

    More like chess. Sometimes a quality, sometimes a flaw, that's not a mindset very adapted to the chaos that's life.

    Chess.

    I'm constantly thinking 3 or 4 steps ahead and most of the decisions I make are designed to maneuver myself into a more favorable position in the future.

    neither

    i live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bull. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free

    I think, in the past, my business life was combination of the two. And I loved every second. But nowadays, I no longer have the desire for it. I've been trying to think of a game where everything's laid out on the table and there is no strategy, but can't think of one.

    But I do like the idea of golf. Playing at my own pace - keeping my own score - working on my swing or whatever else needs work.
