No one gets to choose their own cards.
Even solitaire players have to play them as they are dealt.
This is helpful in understanding adversity because no one is able to avoid adversity and just deal themselves good luck – you have to play with what you get.
Card players can complain, but it does no good – they can fold them but they are admitting defeat or they can hold them and use their skills to manage what they are dealt.
Being lucky is good.
Being resourceful is better.
In life you don’t often get to choose your own cards.
