| This is a tough one to read and a tough one to
write. On one hand, you have to applaud a guy for addressing a
deficiency. If you are weak, try to get stronger.
If you can't see, get glasses. If you can't hear, get a
hearing aid. If you suck at hockey, practice. It is
simple and how to get ahead (a head?!) in life. On the other hand,
you have to balance the risk versus the reward. If you
can't see, getting glasses probably won't hurt you. If you
suck at hockey, practice and you might get better (for sure you
won't get worse).
But let's think about this guy for a moment. He has plenty
of money, but is lacking in a certain physical area. He has
the money to try to fix it, but there is risk. Take it a
step farther, what does he really gain by getting his issue fixed?
It seems like NOTHING. He is a billionaire. He can
get whatever he wants ... especially girls since he should know that
diamonds are a girl's best friend. Why risk death
for nothing?
He either did not think about risk reward or I am missing
something. Maybe he just wanted to be able to stand up at the
urinal and get it past his zipper to keep his pants dry.
But this doesn't make sense either. He is 65 years old.
Why wait so long if that was the issue?
A Chaos player must certainly balance the risk/reward in every
situation. If you are skating in on a 2 on one with
Pete, there is very little risk passing to him since he would
certainly score. On the other hand if it is Kappler, he would
most likely whiff completely. Better to take a risk of hearing
about being a puck hog and just shoot it yourself.
Balance the Risk Reward in all situation. If you want one
more beer, consider if it is worth it. if it is early in the
night, no problem. But if it is late, remember Lovell sleeping
on the Super 8 lawn, remember Tyler in the Kalamazoo taxi.
As extra motivation, look at the last line in the article.
This billionaire started out as a masseuse at a Hilton. Talk
about working your way up? This should motivate us all.
If a small in size masseuse can work his way up to being a
billionaire then it should not be asking too much for all of us to
elevate our games and find a way to win a championship in Nashville.
Clearly anything is possible.
As a side comment, it seems I'm not the only one who is making a
bit of fun at this unfortunate man's expense. I found some
newspapers reporting this with his nickname ... DIAMOND GEEZER.
Now that's funny.
