Plea #40: Where does the line between ambition and delusion lie? Are they one in the same?
Were those now labeled "Ambitious" just delusional people who got lucky?
They say genius goes unappreciated during its time... Were those geniuses seen as morons before their fame?
I believe the answer is yes.
It's nearly impossible to tell what will and won't succeed in its time.
If it was as easy as people seem to think it is, you'd think our kingdom would be a lot richer from its investments.
So if people have such a notoriously impossible time predicting something's success... Why are they so eager to predict its failure?
Is it statistics? More things fail than succeed?
Is it caution? Better to plan for the worst outcome?
I'm not excluding myself from those that do this. I'm just as pessimistic as everyone else...
But I wish the universal pessimism was much lower than it seems to be.
If the investment asked of you won't break the bank by any means, it'll make someone very happy, and has the possibility for ASTRONOMICAL returns... Why not take the risk?
Because it's not 'normal'?
Because everyone without such an opportunity tells you it's too risky?

I guess I'm either an ambitious genius... or a delusional moron.
Only time will tell which.
