Business fail — Madeleine Hunter

”Men fail in business all the time. It’s like a joust. A man enters the tournament knowing he might forfeit his horse. Ruin is always a danger.”

My Thoughts:

In this quote the first sentence is obviously true (even nowadays). Businesses can fail any time and they fail all the time. And "Ruin is always a danger" is a little like "and the outcome can be negative as well" it can be always the outcome. This quote only comments the negative part of entrepreneurship, trying and business. Still this quote rings true in my ears, there is always the possibility of failure (in everything) and we know that. It doesn't matter how good the probabilities are, there always is the possibility. On the other hand there is always the chance that everything or at least something might go well. And that gives us hope. Regardless of the chances.
