Ready for the game!
Here I am, holding you in my hands, ready for the day of play. I’ve practiced a lot, putting all my strong feelings into my strategy. I thought it would make me focused and unbeatable.
But as the game begins, things don’t go as planned. I lose control. - I’m falling apart in front of you, can’t you see?
As the game progresses, my rage fades away, and you become as light as a feather. I let go of my detailed plans and start playing from the heart, although I’m not sure what strategy that is exactly.
The match becomes lighter and more intriguing for me. You see, my usual practice partner is a wall, but now I’m facing another heart and brain across the table, with different strategies, moves, and feelings. The result of this match feels like a combination of variables in a complex equation.
In a moment of clarity, I whisper to my opponent, “Thank you for playing with me and making me think again. I hope we both win.”

Most communication is non-verbal.
Adaptability, emotional intelligence, agile strategy, and collaboration are crucial for swiftly altering the course of a strategy.
The capacity to modify one's strategy and mindset in reaction to shifting circumstances is fundamental to successful personal growth, leadership and performance.
Managing emotions, staying focused under pressure are essential skills applicable in personal, sports, and business contexts alike.
Just like in a game of ping pong, business and personal strategies frequently require real-time evolution and adaptation.
Acknowledging the role of stakeholders in shaping experiences indicates flexibility through simple signs of communication.
This article from Fast Company talks about how emotional communication usually works.
The 55-38-7 rule by psychologist Albert Mehrabian states that in emotional communication, 55% is expressed through body language, 38% through tone, and just 7% through words. This highlights the importance of aligning nonverbal cues with verbal communication for clarity and impact and applies specifically to situations where emotions or attitudes are communicated.
Use all signs of communication wisely :)
