difference between 两者之间的差异

【原文】
有些人把生命当做游戏。生命和游戏有相似之处：两者都可以用来玩耍，都有规则，都会产生成功者和失败者。然后，这两者也有区别。游戏让你厌恶生活。游戏玩的越多，你越不会关注生命中那些更重要的事情。

你只有一次机会去把握生命。生命结束，游戏也就结束了。生命不是一场游戏，生命是实实在在的东西。生命无法预测；你可以把握的很好，但是依然失败。生命并不一直都是公平的，一步走错或者是一个错误的选择可能会导致生命中出现很多这样的错误。抓住你生命中的机会，它可能是你能抓住的最后的一次机会。生命并不一直都充满乐趣，但是如果你决定让你的生活有趣，它也可以是有趣的。

因此，给大家的建议是；享受生命，接受其风险。但是不要参与冒险行为。考虑好你该做的和不该做的事情。在下面几点上，不要游戏你的生命。

生命安全不能大意。不要忽略久经考验的安全措施。安全措施以及安全设备有一个目的：保证你的安全。开车的时候系好安全带，开摩托车的时候，戴上头盔。你的安全掌握在你的手中。

不要浪费你的钱。你可以让你的钱增多，或者是全仍掉。如果信用卡账单到期你没钱还，那就不要刷信用卡。自己存些钱。买东西之前先三思，不管这个钱多少。省去每天喝的一杯咖啡或者一罐苏打，把本来会花的钱省下来。几年的时间，你就会省下来几千美元。省得越多，得到的就越多。你现在养成的习惯会在经济上影响你的余生。要学会如何打理你的钱财。
