I learnt something new today. 


I learnt that you should never try to beat the odds, its like trying to drop a singleton offside queen when you can just take the finesse on the other side. If there is a singleton queen then you are definitely the top board, but there is logic in everyone telling you that you should just finesse and let the singleton queen take because everyone else will do the same thing. And it doesn't matter if something seems to be screaming that there is a singleton queen as you reach forward to play the jack, its likely yet another annoying member of the bridge club. 


Invariably, I guess dreams just don't exist and chasing it is like chasing the wind. Dreams are dreams for a reason, and if you try too hard to beat the odds and float up to that illusive cloud in the sky, you'll just come crashing down when reality hits and look up in a daze hearing everyone go "I told you so". 


That's when you learnt that dreams aren't meant for living, life is meant for living. And life is meant to be spent on earth, not in the clouds.
