Vithun with some words of wisdom: vithun.com/posts/playing-the-long-game
...the longer the game one is in, the more they have got to be able to let something go. And not just let it go, but take it off their mind and start from blank for the next thing coming their way. Reacting to everything is something one does when having a shorter-term mindset.
Leave some balls. Thanks @vithungajendra.
