ACE

Playing cards last night triggered something that my mother had relayed to me from an idea of one of my brothers. An extremely important life lesson came to me while I was throwing out the last card of the Spades game, to win it, I should add. The last card I played was the Ace of Spades, and in Spades, nothing can trump the ACE of Spades. I realized that during these card games, everyone wants to have any form of Aces, but the Ace of Spades is the King of Aces. The last few minutes of the game, everyone was just waiting on who had the Ace of Spades. You’re never really positive who has that card, until it is pulled and the person who has it, usually keeps it as a hidden advantage in reserve until needed.
In this case, it was the absolute last card of the game and it was the only card my team could possess to win the game. The ACE is also used as a term to describe other top-notch actions. In tennis, an Ace is a serve your opponent fails to return. Every tennis player wants to serve that ACE. In golf, hitting the golf ball in the hole with your first shot is an ACE. Even in military terms, an ACE is an aircraft pilot, who has destroyed 5 or more enemy aircraft. An incredible feat, and Ace of a pilot. An ACE is also used to describe an expert in any given field. The ACE is first rate, and whether its sports, cards, or a profession, being the ACE, getting an ACE, or having an ACE, is an advantage that helps us “win” in life or “win” in games. Recognizing one such ACE in life can not only help you succeed, but it can help save lives. Everybody has this “ACE”. The ACE is the understanding that “A”lcohol “C”hanges “E”verything. This is a must play, a must use ACE. Had many of us used and recognized that ACE in life, countless tragedies and lives would be saved. Don’t hold that ACE back, use it and know…”A”lcohol “C”hanges “E”verything!
