The speaker shares a personal experience of being offered once-in-a-lifetime seats to a World Series game and emphasizes that valuable opportunities often require us to surrender control over the terms and conditions. Examples of other valuable opportunities, such as pursuing a Broadway career or dining at a Michelin-star restaurant, are given to illustrate the principle that the more valuable an opportunity, the less we insist on it being on our own terms.
