The Waiting Room Advantage: How A Secret Search Can Make Your Lottery Winning Life Easier
/There were six other people in the waiting room last week as I entered for my routine medical checkup.
And over the next 10 minutes, I learned a lot about them - without speaking to any of them - just observing.
There was the distinguished and formal businessman. I learnt later that he was a prominent politician. (How did I know that? Keep reading). He kept behind his paper the whole time, only his neatly shined shoes peeking out to show how fastidious he was.
Then the elderly retired guy, confused, with the supportive wife. "Do I need to take this with me dear?" he asks, and she deftly takes his coat and reassured him that he didn't.
The younger Chinese man and his wife, who he ignored in traditional fashion while encouraging his young daughter. But it was his wife who jumped up to retrieve their daughter when she wandered too far into other people's space.
And the aging biker... snakeskin boots, long white hair, jeans, beard.
All kinds of people, mixed together. Just like the queue at the lottery store.
