LIFE IS A GAME OF MONOPOLY.
Growing up, I learnt and played a lot of board games and monopoly happens to be my best. I really and has always enjoyed playing the game with my brother and my friend, Uche Christian. The golden memories I have in monopoly is when my uncles play and I get to be the banker. The way they tackle each other during the game and enjoy each other’s company after the game. Monopoly is a game I really love so much that I can’t help but write something about it.
Monopoly is a game of one man for himself. Your friends will not be your friends, they will be your competitors and trust me they don’t hate you everybody is just hustling but in all your hustling don’t hinder another person’s progress. Permit me to be an analyst in this publication, I’d love to analyze monopoly, starting from bank and the banker, the properties (i.e. color groups, train stations, and the utility companies), jail, community chest and chance, the players, bankruptcy and finally luck!
The bank and the banker; what is a monopoly game without a bank and a banker? The bank holds the title deeds that gives you the C of O of your properties, the bank will give you your startup funds and the same bank will take back everything left of you when you go bankrupt. In our life, the bank in our life are the things we invest our lives in, our time, our resources. The bank is the people we surround ourselves with. Everything listed above will determine our startup, our growth and development as time goes on. We should sit and reflect on who we bank one, what we bank on and how we bank on them.
Properties; our properties are what we get from the bank, the people and things you bank on. How do you manage on these properties? What type of properties are you getting? Do you need the things you’re buying from the bank? Monopoly has different types of properties; the color groups, train stations and the utilities. All these properties have different values and usefulness. These properties have a huge impact on your life. You could have all that is needed to get stuffs from the bank and you will end up with nothing meaningful. We have to be cautious about the things we involve ourselves in and what we spend our time acquiring.
Jail; you know when there is a pause in the flow of things in your life and you are left handicapped, that is how jail is in monopoly. It is just a pause, just three turns. Sometimes jail saves life in monopoly, and it keeps you from some dangers. Relating this to our life, we should understand that it is normal to go through struggles and we should always be reminded that it is just for a period of time. You will scale through.
I will be stopping here for now; I will conclude on monopoly in my next publication. Thank you for reading. I really appreciate you. You all are MVPs. Kindly subscribe (if you haven’t do so) and do well to share.
LOVE, LIGHT & AMALA.
