LOL. Nice try, Moose. I'd say you can do better, but that would be a lie.

Everyone has the opurtunity to succeed , you make your own success in life , having protection from failure would make it an easier road to suceedd but then you wouldnt learn from things that diddnt work.

Which one would you pick? 1 million dollars handed to you, or 10% chance to win 15 million?

Agreed.

I would choose protection from failure, but mainly just as an insurance policy.

The opportunity to succeed is a personal thing, and if I did succeed, then my achievements would be my own.

depends on if the opportunity for 15 million was one of chance or merit

playing it secure can't get you too far

but, if  you are okay with safety, the first one
