(Excerpt from How to Live by Derek Sivers)
For something to succeed, everything needs to go right.
For something to fail, only one thing needs to go wrong.
Don’t try to be more right.
Just be less wrong.
Avoiding failure leads to success.
The winner is usually the one who makes the least mistakes.
This is true in investing, extreme skiing, business, flying, and many other fields.
Win by not losing.
