Life is but a deck of cards

    Have you ever noticed how much similarities life has with a game of cards!? Maybe that explains it's popularity. Although a game of cards is much easier to follow, shorter and requires less people to play. But the similarities are many. 

    If we apply life simplistically to a game of cards. Some people will be dealt a nasty hand, others will be dealt a great hand, and the majority will get the whole rainbow, in other words everything-in-between

    cards of life

    Many don't believe in Luck or chance. Many think everything happens for a reason. As an effect of something that happened in the past, or as a cause for something that will happen in the future, everything is somehow connected

    Back to our card game,
    Some of the people who receive the good hand actually end up losing the game, for many reasons. Maybe they played poorly! Maybe other players had even better cards. Maybe they got stuck on the wrong goal. Or even maybe someone bluffed them into losing! One thing is for sure, regardless of your hands, people around you will do their best to win at your expense.

    On the flip side, some of the ones who got the bad hand end up winning. Again for many reasons. Maybe they played really well and their strategy ended up being the best one! Maybe other players played poorly, Maybe they managed to bluff their way to success and were left unchecked! 

    People with the regular card-hands end up having, the same chance in success and failure as everyone. But the chances are, people with the better card-hands naturally have the chance to win more than others with worse card-hands

    Reflecting that back on life, you'll notice it holds true. So people who are most fortunate have the potential to achieve more. Unfortunately, many rely on this initial luck, and think it is their birthright! They end up not getting anywhere! Staying in the same level is really not success! It's maintaining the statuesque

    Weather you call it coincidence, luck, chance or divine intervention. Most humans agree that there are things, many things, that progress in ways they haven't even considered. How and why, are beyond any human capacity.

    Just like the chance that you would get a good hand in cards...

    But how the game will end, really depends on how you play it, how you lay out your cards, and how much strategy you employ and the kind of people you play with

    إغلاق 8 غرف عمليات في مستشفى حمزة
    نشر: 31/10/2007 الساعة .GMT+3 ) 02:33 a.m )

    حنان الكسواني



    عمان - قرر مدير مستشفى الأمير حمزة الحكومي الدكتور سامي الدليمي أمس إغلاق ثماني من أصل 11 غرفة عمليات في قسم العمليات الواقع في الطابق الأرضي من المستشفى بعد أن تسربت إليه مياه عادمة من دورات مياه تمر خطوطها في سقف القسم.

    وشكل الدليمي، الذي تولى إدارة المستشفى قبل أسبوعين فقط، لجنة فنية لتحديد سبب التسرب و"حل المشكلة جذريا"، في ظل تكرار مشكلة تسرب المياه العادمة إلى قسم العمليات ومواقع أخرى إدارية منذ افتتاح المستشفى في شهر ايار (مايو) من العام الماضي.

    ومن المنتظر أن يتسلم الدليمي تقرير اللجنة الفنية اليوم، لتحديد الإجراءات الواجب اتخاذها فنيا وإداريا لحل المشكلة، وضمان عدم تكرارها مستقبلا.

    وقبيل إغلاقها عملت إدارة المستشفى على تفريغ الغرف الثماني من الأجهزة والمعدات الطبية وتعقيمها حفاظا على صحة المرضى ومن ثم نقلها إلى المستودع في المستشفى حتى الانتهاء من حل مشكلة تسرب المياه العادمة إلى الغرف.

    بيد أن إغلاق الغرف الثماني "لم يؤثر" على سير إجراء العمليات الطارئة والمبرمجة مسبقا في المستشفى، وفق تأكيد الدليمي الذي أشار إلى أن المستشفى مستمر في إجراء العمليات في الغرف الثلاث الأخرى.

    لكن الدليمي لفت إلى احتمالية تحويل بعض المرضى إلى المستشفيات الحكومية إذا استدعت الحاجة لذلك. وكان المستشفى أجرى 269 عملية جراحية متنوعة خلال تشرين الأول (أكتوبر) الحالي.
    how are a lousy poker player, a failed politician, and a poor actor alike ? They can't bluff, give a compliment, or tell a lie to save their own skin.
    nice way to put it :)
    something to wonder about, do you think there is a similarity between the way you play cards and the way you "play" your choices in life..?

    Man, you're like the king of vagueness qwaider! I have to be honest, I can't get what you're saying with alot of your posts and in my head I'm thinking "get to the point already!" ;) :)

    (yes that was wink followed by a smile as an indication of the laid-back/light-hearted tone)
    I can't help but think to my self when I read a comment like that and one comment right before it from someone else who gets it. That there must be something that the other person is missing. Right? Maybe I'm talking in absolutels and general to the point that the actual point somehow got obfuscated. But that's to protect the innocent of course

    This post however is one of the simpler ones. The concept is very clear. Your life is like a deck of card. You win or lose based on a number of factors that I talk about up there!

    "The concept is very clear. Your life is like a deck of card. You win or lose based on a number of factors that I talk about up there!"

    DUUHHH yea I understood that, still though, what's your point?  Plus, you could have just said that in one sentence and not a page.

    "I can't help but think to my self when I read a comment like that and one comment right before it from someone else who gets it. That there must be something that the other person is missing."

    weak attempt at trying to insult my intelligence there! LOOOOOL, I get it the way the other commenters "get it". If your goal was to "protect the innocent" in being so vague then why write it in the first place? I'm just curious!

    But I guess it's your choice, your writing style, your blog!
    Asoom, What exactly don't you get?
    I don't want to rewrite the whole thing again!
    I am not insulting your intelligence as much as you're trying to undermine what I'm writing

    Take it as the [lack of] wisdom of the ages
    Take it as an unnecessary reminder that there are people who over think about matters in this life
    Take it as a reminder to us all to remember how we should play our cards right and then maybe we can get somewhere!
    Take it as the effect of luck on your life and how it can put you in a good position or a bad position. But at the end of the day, it's our series of choices that decide how we're going to achieve

    Example, you and your sister have the same initial luck. One chooses to excel in her studies, while the other is "living her life" and not worrying about that. How do you think this will end? The article explains a lot of that



    Again, this is a very simple post. And I really don't understand what you want me to do here! or what you expect me to do!
