Someone is going to win the lottery, but it’s probably not going to be her. When we sign up to feed the system, we’re joining in with others who are offering a similar product or service. Plenty of alternatives with little chance to build a unique asset, which means that it’s unlikely you’ll be fairly compensated. Feeding the system can be fun and it feels safe, which is why so many people do it. It’s a strategy with predictable outcomes. A reliable job might be what you’re seeking. Sometimes, though, the system will sell us a dream it can’t deliver, and these are the games we should avoid.
