Okay, how about THIS analogy:

Willy Wonka's chocolate factory is opening its doors to 5 lucky children! All you have to do is find one of the five golden tickets. No one else has been in the factory for years. You are promised a lifetime supply of chocolate if you can eat the most chocolate bars at the factory. Essentially, going in, you have 1/5 of a lifetime supply of chocolate.

However, Willy Wonka realizes there are a few gluttons out there who, thanks to participating in 1/4 of the total Wonka sales, are invited to the factory regardless of whether or not they find a ticket. Your equity, along with decreasing, now has some very tough competitors and your chances of winning are VASTLY decreased. Would you have tried to get the golden ticket knowing that you would have to beat the best in the world? Maybe not as much.
