“Ideas won’t keep…” #20

Play can easily vanish when people have to strain for competence.

-David Riesman


Some people turn every game and sport into a serious contest. Other people just play it for fun.

Do you take play seriously or do you play for for fun? How do you feel about people who are the opposite way? How does your attitude about play affect other parts of your life?
