Wink is very excited to have been accepted to the Summer Moon School for Ninjas - he can't wait to show everyone what a great ninja he is! But it becomes apparent Winks' desire for recognition is a problem. Master Zutsu tries to teach Wink with wise sayings such as "The flower that flaunts its colours is the first to be plucked!" But Wink can't help himself - he just has to be the centre of attention. After all, what is the point of being an awesome ninja if nobody notices?The other day at the poker table there was a guy who had to let everyone know what a poker genius he was. After every hand Wink (as I called him) would say how he knew exactly what somebody had for this or that reason, or why even though he lost he had made a smart move. Predictably, Wink didn't last too long.
The Wink types are the easiest to beat because they beat themselves. They are always trying the fancy moves. They bluff too much. They suspect that others are bluffing when they are not. They are in it for thrills and to win the admiration of others.
Don't be a Wink. Remember the wisdom of Master Zutsu; "The loudest cricket is the first to be caught."
