More From James A. Michener

Top trumps appeared to be a game in which you got cards, and the cards had a picture (in this case, of a horse), and told you all kinds of stats for that horse, how fast it was, how big it was, etc. whoever had the better horse won both the cards. you repeated this until someone had all the cards. so, basically it was exactly like high school, except it only took three minutes. which was really a bit more humane, if you thought about it.
Horse School Games
Enlightenment writer and philosopher voltaire likened life to a game of cards. players must accept the cards dealt to them. however, once they have those cards in hand, they alone choose how they will play them. they decide what risks and actions to take.
Player Hands Games
Scripts are a house of cards and you can't just reach in the middle and pull out the middle card because the house of cards will fall down. but at a certain point you almost have to allow that house of cards to get knocked down a few times because you need to make it sturdier. how many times do you hear, "no, that doesn't make sense," or "why would this happen?" that was a mistake. you shouldn't have those moments, because the moment you're knocked out of the story, then you're dead. and all you can go is moment to moment,or joke to joke. and that's gonna wear people out.
Mistake Fall People
Life to me is the greatest of all games. the danger lies in treating it as a trivial game, a game to be taken lightly, and a game in which the rules don't matter much. the rules matter a great deal. the game has to be played fairly or it is no game at all. and even to win the game is not the chief end. the chief end is to win it honorably and splendidly.
Motivational Integrity Lying
We all used to collect baseball cards that came with bubble gum. you could never get the smell of gum off your cards, but you kept your yankees cards pristine.

I decided that i want to live the rest of my life happy with what i'm doing. so when i play tennis again, i have to play it for the right reason. i don't want to play to get my no. 1 ranking back. i don't want to play for the attention, or to earn more. i don't even want to play because the world wants to see me do it, even though it's nice to know that the world is interested. i only want to play because i love the game, which is the reason i began to play at age seven in the first place.
Nice Happy Life Games
