Jonathan was a big winner of a free CiCi's dinner. This doesn't sound like a big deal. But, you have no idea what went into him winning this free CiCi's dinner.
During open house, Jonathan and I stopped by the book fair. They were offering double tickets on open house night. You received so many tickets depending how much you spent. You then had the opportunity to drop your tickets into different buckets for a chance to win different prizes.
Jonathan had to analyze how many of each prize they were giving away (i.e., how many CiCi dinners would be awarded) and how many other tickets had been placed in each bucket before he could make his choice. I am not sure that he is a big CiCi's fan, but he had a lot of tickets, they were giving several dinners away and there weren't so many tickets in the bucket. So, odds were in his favor. I thought he would enjoy a ticket to Hawaiian Falls more, but Jonathan wanted to go with something that was a clear winner.
In the end, I guess all that analyzing paid off. I need to be more like Jonathan and remember to slow down and be patient!
