Default Re: About \"Psychology of Poker\" by Alan Schoonmaker

I'm just totally against the idea of his advice. You get nothing without risk. I live in Sweden, and to be able to make any sort of money with our huge taxes you NEED to take risks. I'm starting up a company at the moment and it's taking a lot of time. I'm not getting any income from it yet, but it COULD yeild me a huge payroll if it works out well. It may fall flat as well and I'll have to use the escape hatch.

Of course I could sit down and take an ordinary job and do it the safe way. But then I'll be stuck with a salary that isn't a fraction of what I could be making if I took some risks.

Should his advice be made to people wishing to start companies as well? Most people don't make it to create a huge corporation. Most people who go that way don't drive around in Ferraris and Porches all day long. It's a very select few. But for these select few to exist we need our dreams. Dreams build the future and our society. So don't poop on them!
