“Anyway, the truth is that we are ALWAYS gambling. We are gambling in the people we associate with, in how we allocate our time, in what we watch and listen to, what we give focus on, in what we eat, what we say, in all the risks that we take and even all the opportunities that we turn down. Indeed, there are times when the riskiest thing can be doing nothing at all…” ~ Daniel Cates
