We often think that if others get more, we must be getting less. But that’s not true. I’d rather live in a neighborhood where everyone was richer than me than in one where everyone was poorer than me – I’d have a far better chance of doing well.
But there is an area where the term “Zero-sum” applies – time. Whether we are talking hours in a day, or years in a life; we only have so much time.
Be careful what you do with it, and who you let steal it every day.
