I Won Round 170. For Round 171, I Bought 5 Cards – Let’s See How It Plays Out
Life has a tendency of startling us at the most unexpected places. In my case, the location that has been surprising to me is a game known as Steem Bingo. It might seem a simple card game, however, every round is accompanied by tension, thrill and some profound lessons in life in case you listen.
In Steem Bingo, it is a very easy process. You purchase cards using your Steem tokens, and on the card, you can find numbers that are scattered in the form of a grid. Then, you wait till the daily drawing whereby numbers are drawn. When released numbers are in your card, then you are a step closer to winning. Otherwise, you get back in the next round. It is interesting because the game does not merely test your luck, but also your patience, optimism, and enjoyment in the process.
I had my hopes in round 170 and to my surprise, I won the game. The victory made me feel motivated since it made me realize that we just need a step of faith to win in life. Now equipped with that positive energy, I sat down Round 171 and this time I was going even bigger with a purchase of five cards. Nay, five cards with numbers, waiting like those that expect to be seen.
As I saw my five cards in Round 171, I could not help smiling. Every card was individual and there were numbers on each card such as 7, 19, 47, 63, 73 on one side and 16, 32, 47, 59, 65 on the other. On another card, I was fortunate to have such numbers as 3, 16, 38, 53, 71. The figures were dispersed differently and I asked myself what would happen this time around, which side would be my golden ticket. Among other things, the fact that there is the "FREE" spot in the center of every card was also striking. It reminded me that there are moments when life presents you with a gift of an opportunity that was free and you did not have to work on it, but still it is favorable.
The perfection of Steem Bingo is that it does not make any promises. You can win or you can lose. The opportunity is, however, the exciting element. Like life, we are all venturing into new days without knowing what we are going to get but we gamble anyway. Round 171 and purchase of five cards provided me with a bigger probability of winning than having only one card, yet, in any case, nothing can be ever quite sure. And yet, I remain optimistic. I think I will win with one of my cards once again like it happened to me in Round 170 when the winning numbers matched my card.
My other motivation in this game is the concept of rounds. Every round is comparable to a new chapter. The Round 170 is passed, Round 171 is present, and Round 172 is on the anvil. It makes me understand that despite whatever occurs during a single go round of life, either you win or lose, you have to be ready to face the next go round. Life does not end due to a failure or even a success. It continues to move and so, should we.
A sense of hope is very strong as I play Round 171 using my five cards. There is a chance that a single card will get me to win, maybe the chances are more than one will really surprise me, or maybe this time no one will win. Still, I am already a winner since I can dare to continue playing. Waiting to have the daily numbers available is almost as much suspense as awaiting the future, you are not sure what will occur, yet you can maintain your faith.
Another lesson that I have learned courtesy of Steem Bingo is about investment. I was forced to spend 5 Steem tokens to ensure my cards in this round and that made me think about how in life, you have to plant before you harvest. You cannot have a harvest without planting the seeds. And just like you are not always in control in the actual investment, you are not always in control in the game of stock market. but even the very performance of planting, of making that bold step, is a triumph in itself.
Being a Nigerian man who enjoys purpose in the simple things, the game has made me realize that winning big is not the only way to live. It is courage and hope and possibility of a second attempt. It is not about that you have to win with the help of a single card instead of losing the match, but understanding that you are playing a bigger game, and tomorrow is a new round, and you have some new opportunities.
Therefore, here I stand, with my five cards of Round 171 and I am staring at such figures as 10, 28, 35, 54, 70 and thinking, perhaps this is the card that will make a difference. I am waiting the issue of the numbers with a heart full of hopes and mind prepared to everything. And deep inside, I know, I will win or lose, I still learn, grow, and have the best time in each of the rounds.
Since life at the end of the day is so much like Steem Bingo. The numbers you are drawn are not always under your control, but you have control over your attitude. And so long as you keep your hope up, it is worth playing round.
