This one time, while waiting for a bus at Port Authority, I played a crane game in an arcade near my bus terminal. A middle-aged woman watched as I won a plastic dinosaur with ease.
As I retrieved my prize, she grabbed my shoulder, and in a voice normally reserved for addressing small children, she said, “Good for you! I’ve never seen anyone win before! Congratulations! Good for you!”
I stood stunned for a moment, before stammering, “Thank you. I feel good about this.”
Looking back, every single choice I made that day was a loss.
