Strategy of Optimism

"The role of chance in business is enormous but it is not
acceptable to say that. Most of us overestimate our likelihood
of succeeding in a given endeavors,
but entrepreneurs are the foremost optimists".

(David Storey - Warwick Business School)
The paradox
is that responding to setbacks by trying again -
the strategy of optimism -
increases the chances of eventually hitting pay dirt.


If first you don't succeed try again!
