Starcraft Marines and Missed Opportunities. You know, when I play a RTS game like Starcraft, my natural tendency is to not wanna build a whole lot of units until I can build the ultimate unit. Like, why settle for basic marines when if I wait a liiiittle longer, I can build siege tanks? But of course, in game, things don't always go the way you want, and more often than not, I get rushed and killed off before I get much of a chance to build anything. If you take this situation a little, and extrapolate to the broader context of life in general, you'd have a pretty good idea of how I think.

But I'm sick of holding off and getting pwned all the time in life. So here I am this time, settling to build marines with my life. Not as glorious and prestigious as the siege tanks I was hoping for, but at least I won't be dead. But the flip side of it is, when I build those marines in game, I always wonder how things would've turned out if I'd just held on and waited for the siege tanks. =/ What if? I dunno, lose-lose situation is what it sometimes seems like. Grass is always greener on the other side.
