“Imaginary testing is unreliable, and in many cases, it's a huge waste of time and energy. In truth you just don't know what will happen until you try. You may start a business, and it could take off in ways no one could predict. Or it could be a complete failure. You could ask for a date and end up with the partner of your dreams. Or you could be rejected cold.

“It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. But wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. Elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. There must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.” MenGivingDoeEndsDesireEnergyLosesWealthPovertyCasesOughtExerciseGainsIdealsSlaveBoundsTerrorCorruptionChosenChiefsPortionsCowardiceElsewhereBe A SlaveFreemanBreeders Book:The Varieties of Religious Experience Source: The Varieties of Religious Experience
