Funfair
It is amazing how it feels to win a prize! May be it was during school sports day, perhaps winning a trophy or some prizes at a golf tournament or its lucky draw. That is why sometimes you read about people who got called up and told they have won a lucky draw they have not even participated and they believe only to be conned. That is why you also have people putting hands on a car for some 80 hours or more to win a car. When you were in lower primary school, the teachers will give you stars pasted on your home work or spelling tests and they may even add some remarks such as "Very Good!" or "Excellent!" It makes you feel good and vindicated but as you grew older, they not only stopped doing stars for you, they would sometimes put big crosses on your work, tore out a page and chided you endlessly. It can become worse when you go to work. When you won the World Cup nobody knew but one error and maybe you have to stand on the chair and eat chalk. As a child...
