Life Is Like Tetris

Life is like tetris. In tetris, the pieces of various shapes that fall could represent all the things that happen to you, big or small. Some are more friendly, useful shapes, and some are malicious to your overall progress. Now how you use these pieces is up to you. You could focus on short term goals and achieve instant gratification, which would be represented by fast 1-line clears, however, you won’t score nearly as high and have a greater chance of messing up in the long run. Now, you could also focus long term goals, or trying to set-up consecutive tetrises, and while this option takes a lot more skill and a bit more luck, you score much more in the long run and eventually everything will fit together. That one 4-high piece is represented by those special scenarios in your life where everything just seems to tie together perfectly. You need to know when to make your quick one line clears, but always have the big consecutive tetrises in mind.

Life Is a Blue Shell

Life is a blue shell, because no matter where you are or how far ahead you are, somehow it will find you, and it will flip you on your back and screw you over. Sometimes you see it coming, sometimes you don't, but either way, it's there and coming for you. It's unavoidable, minus a chance miracle. However, it's the recovery afterward and ability to get back on track to regain that number one spot that shows true skill and dedication.
