I enjoy card games. It's easy to get distracted when playing on the computer - phone calls, questions, emails, thinking about an important project or daydreaming. In the card game of hearts, the two best outcomes are to take as few tricks containing points as possible, or to take them all. Distractions can cause one to lose track of the tricks taken. If one focuses exclusively on not taking tricks, the door can be opened for another to take all of the tricks. When we are distracted, we can lose sight of the bigger objective of winning the game versus avoiding losing a hand.
Most often effectively competing in the game of cards, business or life involves taking carefully calculated risks. It's easiest to do when we are clear about our ultimate objectives and commit to keep our head and heart in the game.
