The thing that you're worried will happen that doesn't happen, doesn't happen because you insured against it. You panicked early. As Jared correctly points out, something else will happen randomly, but the randomness is background noise. If you had insured against that, it wouldn't have happened either or it would have been less likely. Also it wouldn't have appeared to be random. I wrote a piece about panicking early on my publication which I have the manners not to link to here but you're welcome to check out. I'm actually reading 200 hours right now so it was funny you mentioned it!
"I am one of the most patient people I know. How did I achieve this enlightened state? With the knowledge that if you leave something the fuck alone for long enough, it usually works out."
I have this approach. My wife has a different approach...
Great piece.
ps 2004.

It is important, even critical, to distinguish between patience and procrastination. The first is indeed a virtue, while the second is not.

Change June 2024 to June 2004 above. Do not perseverate.
