“You’ve got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count your money, when you’re sitting at the table, they’ll be time enough for counting, when the dealing’s done.”
-Kenny Rogers, The Gambler
I see much more here than mere advice for a card player, and I’m sure you do too.
Knowing when to fight and when to retreat, when to stand up and when to sit down, when to speak up and when to hold your tongue – these are everyday decisions that we have to make – sometimes on the spur of a second.
How do we accomplish this? By acting with wisdom, reason, and courage, forgiving ourselves when we make the wrong decision, making the right one next time, and believing there will be a next time.
