[...] Those are the ONLY two options. That’s the brutal truth, and at the end of the day that’s just a fundamental truth of economics. Someone always wins and someone else always loses.

Hey MBI,

I had that Nike ad on my wall at one time. I eventually threw it into a file with a bunch of other clippings and had to go on a little hunt through my junk to find it.

It’s always cool when you find something inspiring that you thought you’d never see again.

Wow awesome article you got there..it’s very inspirational. I’m going to save that as well! And it’s absolutely right, you need to take risks. You don’t want to live life and later on regret for not trying something…
