Poker gems, #190

Biologist Edward O. Wilson, as quoted in a feature about him and his new book, Sunday on NPR's "All Things Considered." (See here.) He was not talking about poker, but the advice is sufficiently generalizable to apply.


You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.
