Persistent Kid Gets What He Wants At Arcade

This is pretty good lesson in never giving up. Spread Good Squad shared a video on Instagram of a boy playing a crane game at an arcade. He clearly wanted one of the biggest plush prizes inside.
It’s a scene familiar to any of us who’ve tried to steer the fickle claw of fortune in the direction of our desire. The claw appears to grab the prize, only to drop it just inches from glory. How many of us have given up at that point? Not this young man. He swipes his card again until he hits the jackpot. Good for you, kid. Good for you.
Maybe this is something to remember when we run into a other, more significant obstacles in life. Don’t be so quick to walk away from the game. Persistence pays. After all, how can you win if you don’t play?
