I read this a while ago and I totally forgot where this is from.
"what was wrong was never
understood
and what was right never
lasted"
ALSO, there's this quote.."dont think, just do." its from this:
in poker, there's this concept called pot odds which means knowing if what you're risking is worth what you're potentially going to win. given the variables of what you know, what you think you know, and what you can potentially get, there's a precise mathematics that can actually dictate when you're supposed to call, raise, or fold.
for the longest time, i have tried my best to practice this concept, not only when playing cards but basically for every decisions i make in life(at least for those that mattered). for the most part it works (i.e. career, money, yes even for gambling itself). but no matter how you put your odds stacked in your favor, there's always a chance you'll lose... i can bear with that.
as long as i know that my decision is a result of a calculated risk... i can bear with that... regardless of the result.
lately however i am learning that the concept doesn't apply to everything. i am learning that for some cases... the more i think, the more i calculate the risks, the less i appreciate what's happening in front of me and what could potentially come out of it. that should no longer be the case.
where is that story excerpt from? I read a lot of his books, but I don't recall that...I probably forgot it but which book? Thanks
