Living in this world

is like being in a casino.

You can't think too much,

if you do,

you stop enjoying the game.

If you think too much

about Life,

you won't have time

to enjoy Life.

You just lay down your money

and play your part.

You must know

which cards to hold

and which cards to throw,

just like you must know

which people to hold

and which people to throw,

even friends

or spouses.

Just enjoy the game,

no matter what cards

you've been dealt,

and play the best

to your ability.

Just like in Life,

you must always endeavour

to give your best shot

in everything worth doing.

If you're not gonna give your best

you might as well not even try.

You can't walk,

in the middle of a game,

just like you cannot

resign from Life,

unless you wanna die.

Never count your money

when you're still

playing the game,

just play the cards

you get dealt,

even bad cards.

When you count your money,

you either get complacent

or greedy.

If I count my blessings in life,

tomorrow being Vesak Day,

I'll sit under a tree

waiting for Enlightenment.

And when you're out of aces,

go next door and

sing karaoke instead.

No point trying too hard

in life,

particularly marriage.

A married life is happiest

when you don't really need

to try so hard.

When your casino ship is sinking,

you don't sit there and pray,

you jump.
