Not that many people even know it exists
Let’s go to the casino
Those emotions are really powerful, though
It became a family joke
You want to be a big shot
The only mistake I made was not quitting
I know how to play
Smart gamblers knew you had to go down to go up
I was in control
Sometimes, the house was empty all day long
She had no idea what to do next
This makes sense
It just sounds right
That makes some people uncomfortable
It felt like everything was out of control
It worked
I am gravely concerned
Don’t overstep your bounds
The usual amount of work gets done
Then, something unexpected happened
The same thing can happen in people’s lives
That’s when things started to change
It felt like I imagined it would
I’m really glad to be here
He wasn’t sure he wanted the job
That’s not how the brain works
He looked dignified, solid, confident. Like a chief executive
Eventually they’ll have a bad day
And everything would come together
That’s it. Do it without thinking
I am ready to do anything. Anything!
It feels like something was different out there
It’s as true now as it was almost a century ago
Nobody knew it at the time
I guess I should be thankful
It’s usually not a problem
He went for a walk every morning
It’s not like you do it all the time
It’s just a habit, I think
Do you know why you are here today?
All it had to do was recall the quickest path to the chocolate
His specialty was exploring how the brain stores events
It isn’t always simple
It’s changed everything about how I see the world
I know you’ve told this story a dozen times
