BB#22 — Why you should discard bad cards in life
I put down my last card and smiled. I won…or least I thought I had. Finally. Kim and I were playing rummy while on vacation in the Netherlands last summer. We like to play cards while traveling.
She was beating me badly. I had lost every hand. Then Kim reminded me that I needed to discard to finish the game.
I did not have any cards left, so I would have to play another round.
Kim drew a card, placed the others on the table, and discarded her final one. She won that hand.
I am not good at playing cards
I like playing cards. Poker, rummy, Uno. You name the game, and I probably enjoy it.
The problem is that I am not good at any of them. I lose most of the time. I don’t pay much attention while playing and usually do not have a strategy in mind.
Instead, I simply do the best I can and hope for a win every now and then. The bottom line is that I do not care that much if I lose. I really don’t.
My attitude is much different when it comes to life.
