It is somehow as good as forgotten by many – that these days we are care about ourselves or people that we feel close to us. But no matter how simple they may be, it takes time, effort and courage to master the art of doing so to ourselves, let alone to deliver it to people around us. Yes, if we start now to treat people around us better – to learn to love ourselves more, bring joy and peace to ourselves, we can do the same for people around us. We have not had the joy and peace to cherish every moment with them or even to take notice of the little things happening around us. Why? Because we had not love ourselves and people around us enough. Well most people will perhaps say they are not prepared – to suddenly lose their job or suddenly loose someone close to them. Do you have the means to get by the dark period of your life? Be it physically, emotionally or financially? It could be suddenly you lost of love one or financially you got into big trouble. Now run a mental image of a worse case scenario turbulence going on in your life. ![]() If one day, we are faced with turbulence in our life, can we weather through the storm? Which brings me to the next question below. ![]() And apart from that will be to set aside a small amount of money for raining days – emergencies. How much to budget aside then? That depends on your commitments – do you have a family to take care of? Do you have loans or bills to pay etc. Which is why Budgeting comes in as important. Nope, we should try to prepare for the worse situations.You may earn $10 today, but earn $0 tomorrow. The basic to life is survival – if today you have $10, do you spend everything or do you apportion it? Now that also depends on situation does it not? We decide how we would like to live on our life. But the question is how? Pause for a moment, what comes out of your mind? There can be Love, Joy and Peace when we manage our own economy (Finances). With negotiations too at time and how, when negotiations fail – just like when your are broke and have give up your tiles or when you are required to swap tiles with the other players in the game play.Īs the game is interesting, it brings about some important life lessons when I decided to craft this article.Ĭan there be Love, Joy and Peace when we manage our own economy?įor me, the answer is YES. With the game play, the game mechanics reminds us of how we live our life by rules. As for how to play – check out the video below. So that bring me back to the current game set – Monopoly Empire. Properties being a tool/asset to income generation. It does shows us how the economy work in a certain way, as well as how we could gain from buying properties. And while this is being a ever popular game among the various generations since 1930s – though the game originated back in 1903. The origins of the game history can be found here on Wikipedia. So lets progress on to the game before we talk more about human characters. Everyone has two sides to their personality. The UGLY vs the COMPASSION side – DIVERSE as we know it. Unless and only when circumstances changes do we notice their not so nice or even the super nice side of them. Though each game can only be played by 4 players – it is pretty interesting that through the game we could see the other side of friends, family or even strangers that we may not face on a everyday basis. ![]() The board game set we played was the Monopoly Empire game set. My most recent game of Monopoly was at Universal Studios Singapore where they organised a Guinness World Records challenge to break the record for most people playing Monopoly on game’s anniversary – aka World Monopoly Day – March 19, 2016. The game set has got Chance and Community Chest cards as well. Even though it is as simple as just a board game about properties – there can still be lessons learn. It never fails to bring out lessons in life. ![]() No matter how many versions the game has evolved over the years. And my all time favourite is still Monopoly. There are many board games in the market.
