Last year, 'Squid Game,' a Korean television series on Netflix broke records for its viewership across the world. It reached the number one spot in 90 countries, garnering more than 111 million viewers in just 17 days of its release.
While the title of the series is drawn from a similarly named children's game, the series itself is woven around a contest where 456 players in deep financial debt, put their lives at risk to play a children's game, in which the ultimate winner takes home 45.6 billion South Korean won (translating approximately to USD 38 million). The story's creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, says, "It is a story about losers" from our present competitive society where the "winners level up."
Life, fortunately, is not a zero-sum game.
If one person wins, it doesn't mean that someone else needs to lose. Ideally, you want everyone to win. But can we believe that things can really be 'win-win'? If yes, are we to wait for things to pan out by themselves, or are there any things in our control that we can do to make this happen? It appears that in addition to the luck factor in life, there are certain things we can do to create a conducive atmosphere for a win-win situation.
