Kratos
God of War
“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
You ask the wrong question. Safe and reckless are both forms of fear. First, discipline. Set aside what feeds you and yours. That money is sacred. It is not part of the wager. What remains, you commit fully: a plan, a deadline, your whole effort. A half bet is how men lose everything and learn nothing.
If the idea fails, you stand, you study the failure, you go again. Do not be sorry. Be better. And speak less of the idea. Work more.
