Every game has solution

For almost four years, ever since I first acquired my first smartphone, I spent hundreds of sessions solving Freecell during the times I have nothing else to do but wait. Travelling on a Metro, on backseat of my car, sometimes at home too, it has been a game.

Most of the attempts resulted in failure though.

Then I learnt to roll back the moves. If that didn't work abandoning and selecting a fresh game was next choice. I would repeat that till I get easy enough game to crack. The aim was to complete a game successfully by all means. And that used to run extra adrenaline in my veins. A sense of achievement. False though.

However I knew it was like first hitting dart on the wall and then drawing  circles around it to make it appear as if I had hit the bull's eye.

It was quite late when I thought of grit, not to give up and make repeated attempts till I crack it. Restart - that was option available which I had never bothered before. I got it now.

I don't give up on any game , don't rollback moves with back button, don't choose a new easy game. I select a game and keep trying.Every time I hit a dead end wherefrom I could not move any further, I would simply restart the same game. Every time I do that I learn that there are several ways to solve it. Also I get present to the mistake I had done during previous attempts.

Most important lesson is that every game has solution. All problems have solution- don't give up on grit.
