--> When I was a young boy I observed a number of people playing cards. After watching them for a while, I learned that if a person has a bad hand of cards, he tries to get rid of it as fast as possible, while if a person has a good hand, he holds on to it as much as possible and conceals it from all other players.
From this I learned two important rules in serving Hashem (God). First, if a person has any evil traits , he must strive to get rid of them as fast as possible. Second, if he has any good qualities, he should keep them to himself and not show them to anyone else.
