While I’m not saying I’m a fool, I often do rush 8nto things. And yesterday was sadly was one of those days. Now that the world is sort of getting back to normal, I’m trying to get back out and do things I enjoyed before the pandemic. And one of those is trading card tournaments. And that was the first thing I rushed into, heading to an event yesterday that I now realise I wasn’t ready for. Just hearing the other players talk made me realise how little I had played the game. So I made a strategic retreat from a superior foe and ducked out. It was a good learning experience though and I’m going back next week better prepared.
Sadly my rushing in streak didn’t end there. In my eagerness to make up for missing the games I could have played, I dived into an online match without having tested my setup. Which worked so badly that I had to drop out and rethink. The moral of this story is, for me anyway, to ask myself if I really think I’m ready before I do something. Hopefully that will let me rein in my rash impulsive thoughts.
