Deal with the cards you were dealt and be a Dual Master.

A phrase about owning your situation instead of blaming it. “Deal with the cards you were dealt and be a Dual Master” means you don’t waste energy wishing for better circumstances — you master what you already have.

“Dual Master” refers to mastering both sides of yourself: strengths and flaws, emotion and logic, offense and defense. It’s about balance, control, and adaptability — not luck.

The phrase was first said by Arteobis after an early setback, and it stuck because the meaning applies to anyone: you can’t choose your starting hand, but you can choose how well you play it.

Deal Chicken

A person who constantly jumps from one job, deal, or opportunity to another, always pecking around for the best possible payoff.

Like a chicken scavenging for crumbs, they’ll flock anywhere the juiciest deal is.
