The Cards We're Dealt
Are some born luckier than others? Or are they just persistent?
I was watching two kids play a simple card game. One, about ten years old, was confident and competitive. The other was a younger sibling. They were playing “high card”—each simply flips a card, and the higher one wins. After a few rounds, the older kid grinned and said, “I always win and you always lose. You’re unlucky.” The younger one just shrugged. “I know I always lose,” she said, as if it were simply a fact.
