A zero-sum game is a mathematical representation in game theory and economic theory of a situation that involves two competing entities, where the result is an advantage for one side and an equivalent loss for the other. In other words, player one’s gain is equivalent to player two’s loss, with the result that the net improvement in benefit of the game is zero. (source: Wikipedia)
Some examples of zero-sum games include sports, chess, Texas hold ’em poker, bridge and most board games (In the financial industry, futures contracts and options are examples). Those games are fun to play and can be exciting to watch. They have their place.
Life however, isn’t a zero sum game. Or at least it doesn’t have to be. Everybody can win or benefit in some way.
We first have to believe and know this deep down in our souls (have an abundance mindset).
Then we have to go out and play the game properly. Cooperation and collaboration are the keys to success.
