As a business man and poker player, I deal with percentages and projections all the time. I take calculated risks with money based on the knowledge I've accumulated over the years and it's really always paid off over the long term...but my attitude with money is that whatever I lose, I know I can make it back. Would I make the same decisions if it were with my life?
Now I've lossed half my face and almost my life to oral cancer. This shit doesn't play, it's unforgiving and if you lose, you lose your life. I'm of the mind that when I have an opponent down, I'll make sure the motherf*cker stays down by whatever means possible, especially if it has a chance to take me from my family. Don't play with this stuff...and ask your dumbass Dr if they would take their percentages if it were their life on the line.
