[ Games ]

This evening, the Queensland Maroons team lost (again) to the NSW Blues team, in the annual State of Origin best-of-three game of rugby league.  It was hard to watch.

Games have rules, a start and finish, and clear winners and losers.  Everyone playing the game agrees on when it starts and stops, and how a winner is decided.

Business isn’t like that, not entirely. There is no agreed start and stop to business activities, not really.  And while there are rules in place, how they are applied is sometimes left up to interpretation.

Games are for entertainment, that’s the difference.
