Greater than 0.00%

Published: Monday, 25 March 2013

No matter what choices you make every single day, life is unpredictable - everything is unpredictable.

So all you can do is prepare the best you can and whatever happens, happens.  No worries!  :)

For me, it's more of a risk to not put everything on the line to make my entrepreneurial dreams come true.  If I don't risk it, then I'll never know if I could have ever made it.  If I don't risk it, then I will never make it.  Life is hard anyway, why spend it pursuing a job, when just for putting in a little more effort, you could do something that you truly love and are passionate about, and still not be living on the streets!

The odds are stacked against me, but the tiny fraction of a percent that I have in my favour – me working my hardest – is enough for me to risk everything.

You can never win if you never try.  Even the smallest likelihood of success is greater than none.  Even 0.00001% > 0.00%.
