Albert Einstein
Thought Experimenter
“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
Try a thought experiment. Ride the idea forward ten years, as I once chased a beam of light. In one picture you bet and fail, yet you learn what no cautious man learns. In the other you stay safe and always wonder. Which picture can you live inside? I am no braver than anyone, only more stubborn.
Make the bet as simple as possible, but not simpler.
