Do you choose to see the glass as half full or half empty?Remember the Egg story - you are everyone you help or victimise. Choose wisely.
"The gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you are not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it- Cool Runnings
"... becuase reaching the goal is not the goal. It is when you are striving to reach the goal that you grow"- Gurudev
Know yourslef. Know what your rocks are. And spend your time on that. The rest is just sand.
Your mind is like a river.
- Keep it calm: too many thoughts will create agitation.
- Keep it clean: Impure thoughts will cloud the reflection of the pure sun.
- Keep it flowing towards the ocean (God)

Players start with a token - which represents each of them - in the initial square and take turns rolling the die. The tokens move according to the numbering on the board, in ascending order. If, at the end of a move, a player lands on a square where a ladder begins, they move up it to the square where it ends. If, on the other hand, they land on a square where a snake's tail begins, they move down it to the square where its head ends.If a player rolls a 6, they can move twice in a single turn. If a player rolls three consecutive 6's, they must return to the initial square and cannot move their token until they roll a 6 again. The player who reaches the final square is the winner.There is a variation where, if a player is six or fewer squares away from the end, they must roll precisely the number needed to reach it. If the number rolled exceeds the number of remaining squares, the player cannot move.
INSTRUCTIONS
If the player falls on the bottom of a ladder, they move up to the top square where the ladder ends.
If the player lands on a square where the tail of a snake starts, they go down to a lower square where the headis located.
