For Round 168, I Bought 2 Cards. There is no harm in trying.
It is a game of fortunes and at times the best possible way of enjoying life is to participate in something exciting, fun and hopeful. One of such moments in my case was when I chose to play Steem Bingo. The game itself is a simple yet exciting one. There is a card that contains numbers which you buy using the 2 Steem tokens. Then you wait. The numbers are announced one after another as the day progresses and in case those numbers match what is on your card then you win the game. If they don't, you lose. It is both a game of fortune, but also a game of learning patience, courage, and optimism.
To play Round 168, I chose to purchase two cards. They were written with my username, adede and after reading the numbers on the cards, I was just excited. On the first card, I observed such numbers as 3, 5, 6, 7, 15, 23, 40, 47, 50, 59, 61, 64, 68, and 73. Numbers in the second card included 1, 3, 4, 13, 15, 20, 23, 34, 36, 40, 44, 52, 59, 61, 67, 70. Neither of these figures was extraordinary as such but combined they created my ticket to potentially becoming one of the winners.
Looking at the cards, I came to a certain conclusion: the beauty of Steem Bingo does not lie only in the winning, but in the hope associated with the each round. The possibilities are each represented by a card. When each number is called in the live draw, you are brought nearer to winning, or further, but you are never bored. I was overcome with a feeling of jubilation because at any moment I could hear the numbers that I required called out, and I would not be disappointed in my waiting.
Another lesson I got when playing Steem Bingo is that one should be optimistic. Games of chance are looked at as being risky by many people but I view them as an opportunity. As in life, you are never going to win all the time but when you never attempt, you automatically lose. I purchased two cards in the Round 168 which means that I received two opportunities to win. I do not know whether I will have all of my numbers called, but I do know that I am in the game, and that is something to be proud of.
The other interesting fact about the game is the way it is played in rounds. Each round is new, each round is fresh and each round is a fresh opportunity to win. When I entered Round 168, I wondered of the numerous rounds that had preceded it, and of the numbers of people who must have experienced the same thrill that I was experiencing. And then this round will be followed by Round 169, Round 170, and the list will be endless. Life is like that too. As much as you are a failure at one shot, you always have another opportunity.
The numbers on the cards to me were not even numbers. They became symbols of hope. The FREE area in the centre of every card represented a life giving me some assistance, that despite all the challenges, there is always some small plus that will make it easier. Such numbers as 15, which came out on both my cards, made me feel lucky, as though even the game itself was inclined to my side. And as I saw the bigger figures such as 70 and 73, I visualized them rising high as the last step to winning.
The moral of the story which Steem Bingo taught me is obvious: it is not bad to make some attempts. When you sit down and do nothing, you acquire nothing. However, when you take a step, even with a simple act such as buying two cards you are leaving the door open to possibilities. Life pays off those who are not afraid to go out and play.
Regardless of whether I win or lose in Round 168, I will definitely have learned something valuable. I have also been taught to take a risk, to have hope, and to enjoy the ride. Steem Bingo can be a game, however, in my case, it is the reflection of real life. Ans as much as I am waiting to get the figures out they are published, so too am I waiting until I get an opportunity in life. In life I do what I do with numbers in my cards, just as I do mark the numbers on my cards. And so, as every round gives you another opportunity, every day of your life is a new day.
Thus, here I am; I have my two cards and am waiting with the numbers being called. I am hopeful, I am excited and I am optimistic. Perhaps it is the one that I hit the big time. Maybe it is not. Anyhow, I have certainly had a game, I have tried and I have enjoyed the game. For Round 168, I bought 2 cards. And indeed, there is nothing wrong in trying.
