Your Inner Big Kid
September 24, 2014
It is not true that nice guys finish last. Nice guys are winners before the game ever starts.

In her article, "More than Child's Play" in The Simple Things magazine (August 2014; www.thesimplethings.com), Martha Roberts observes that "There's a world of serious benefits adults can get from releasing their playful side....Being playful is like a tonic that aids our health and wellbeing and can even help us be more successful." Here are a few of the playful tactics she recommends...
Walk a playful path each day. Don't entirely change what you are doing - just see things differently.
Take 'serious' games and make them more playful. Try nonsense Scrabble where you aim to put down the silliest, funniest words.
Connect frequently with playful people.
Go on a comedy binge. Reacquaint yourself with your playful side by reading funny books, joke books, and watching comedy on TV...Train yourself to see what is funny in everyday situations, too.

I am naturally playful, and learning how children play helped me understand how to interface their play, without interrupting. I used the S.O.U.L. Technique. The words are be Silent, Observe, try to Understand the children's play, and wait for Languge from child to engage. It always goes differently, depending on the children and the situation, and it did make me more aware and to respect children's play process...always intriguing.

It's not that nice guys finish last...it's that they are in a different race.
