Table Selection
The game you play—or the table you select—is more important than how you play.
You don’t need to get good at doing difficult things if you get good at avoiding difficult things. If you want to win, pick an easy table and nail your execution.
| Insight
Disagreements can lead to growth if approached with an open mind.
Challenge: Write about a recent disagreement and how it could have been an opportunity for growth if both parties had been open to learning from each other.
Example: A debate with a coworker, a difference of opinion with a friend, or a family conflict.

Edwin Land, inventor of instant photography and founder of Polaroid Corporation, on the importance of curiosity:
"An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail."
| Question
Think about a relationship that has significantly impacted your life. What does this relationship reveal about your needs and priorities in personal connections?
