that when we take chances, we stand to lose. But it is also
true that we will never win anything if we never even enter
the game. Lucky people are aware of the possibility of
losing, and indeed they may lose often. But since the

being willing to accept small losses, they put themselves in
position to make large gains.
-- Max Gunther
