There comes a time when you realize that you need to go all in, otherwise, you get bought out. Put your money where your mouth is. Cliches. Making bets. Taking names and hopefully winning big.
I got to visit Las Vegas in 2012. A typical office bloke like myself couldn't help but marvel at the amounts of money being thrown around within mere minutes. What could these guys be thinking? What would it be like to live with a seemingly unlimited credit line? What would it feel like to have the ability to buy away your blues if you wanted to? Or at least, create the illusion of your blues falling prey to whatever currency you pledge allegiance to?
Everything in life is a gamble. Fortunes can change in the blink of an eye. Good risks are taken by those that see potential in sticks, stones, and piles of mud.
But what of risks that are fluid?Risks that are hard to quantify? Risks that you can't simplify? Those are the types of risks that tend to keep those with even the most brilliant minds up at night.
This is sort of like my Vegas. Not because I will likely end up in a "drive-in", but because sooner rather than later, I will find myself at the start of a long road-in a brave, new, world.
I will not be alone.
That in itself gives everything meaning which, similar to the risk alluded to above, may end up being too infinite to really quantify.
