Simon Sinek talks a lot about infinite and finite games. Like this video, these videos, and at length in this video, for example.
A finite game is one where there is a winner.
Like football.
In an infinite game is a game where the objective is to keep playing.
Like marriage.
One of Simon’s key points is that you need to know which game you’re playing because the strategy is completely different for each type of game.
If this piques your interest, I can recommend watching the videos.
And if not, I’ll leave you with this.
If you know you aren’t going to “win” at learning, why are you playing?
