90% of gamblers quit before they win big
Thanks, that gives me hope. Just a few more rounds tonight
Honestly though, if you don’t take risks in life, you get nothing.
Leave your comfy job for better pay. Ask that person out. Stuff like that.
Leave your comfy job for better pay.
Abso-fucking-lutely not. I’ve had horrible jobs that have paid significantly more than comfy jobs. The stress and misery is not worth the extra pay. At all.
Why would I want to be uncomfortable 40 hours a week?
Very true!
Don’t forget exploitation.
Like many gamblers, dude here is about to run out of platforms and fall hard.
Or he can stop and coast for the rest of his life
It’s cropped in a weird way. Guy on the left is on his way to set those down ahead so these gambling bricks have a pillar and the shit stain on the right never has to see them, his bricks have always been just as solid as they are now.
Its not wrong, but its not only a rich people thing.
- Spending time getting education, whether college or trade school, is a gamble. You’re putting precious time and money into a body of knowledge/skill that you’re betting will not only break even, but profit.
- Specializing in THING X vs. THING Y is a gamble. You may have chose the new hotness skill and be very much in demand, or you may have chosen the dead end skill or a skill that there is a glut in the number of people that can do it meaning low demand for you.
- Taking on a difficult job or employer, but getting to work on things that improve you with your skill is a gamble. The boss could suck enough that even though the possible outcome is great, the boss sabotages it.
- Choosing to pivot once you have one set of skills to gain an additional set is a gamble. You may have been better off staying on one course and keep progressing higher vs becoming someone with multiple sets of intersecting skills.
The analogy I always liked was:
Success is like a carnival dart game.
If you’re poor you probably don’t even get a chance to play. Maybe once with some help from friends and family. But even then, the odds are still not good.
If you’re middle class you can afford a throw or two, significantly increasing the odds of success.
If you’re rich you can afford to throw as many darts as you want until you succeed.
LOL, just commented much the same but your post is far better. Well said.
You forgot the part were the successful people pop out of their mother’s vagina already in a much higher platform than the rest (granted, it would probably require a NSFW tag).
Close but it’s actually

Too bad online casinos are forbidden in my state.
Ever heard of an app called robinhood?
It’s not really gambling when it’s not (rightfully) your money.
