Access: Potential Potential
Andrew J. Griffin

"Look out world, here I come," says One.
"I want to go far and succeed in life," says Another.
"How far is far? And how do I get there?" asks The Other.
"Life is a game of games and the game of games," replies The Author.
To succeed in a game, usually means to win, to do this, a plan of attack, as in a strategy, is required. But not just any set of guidelines,
the best is what qualifies a win, and the best is known by one title as the "Theory of Games." The reasoning behind setting down guidelines to follow is simple,
it isn't enough just to try and press hard to win, but one must also take into account the other players of the game. The other players may well be driven to win, too;
therefore, one must be ready-prepared-for the effect this has on the game, for every factor involved holds an amount of potential influence in the game.
If one is not ready for a stop sign around the next corner, he or she may fall prey to the possibilities that could occur as a result.
For example, driving through the stop sign hitting another car. Hence, being ready for anything and everything can be very taxing,
to the point that it can keep you where you're at now, but if done effectively, then the quest for the winner's circle can be continued.
Nevertheless, how does one expect anything and everything? The answer lies within the circumstances of the game. Almost every game has a set of rules,
and knowing these rules enables one to know what another can or cannot do. By eliminating what cannot happen, one is able to focus on what can happen and be ready for it.
Consequently, knowing the Theory of Games will give an individual the fundamental guidelines to win, for it uses facts to analyze a situation and provides a method to predict
mathematically what to be prepared for, partially by utilizing the nature of cause and effect. Mathematically implies factual numeric values as answers, and numbers when correct don't lie;
therefore, the importance of the Theory of Games, also known as Game Theory, may be grasped in such high stakes games as business, politics, and war, where in all cases "winning is everything."
