commitment is the game and fulfillment is the aim
"I would sometimes think that maybe I ought to stop trading because it was
very painful to keep losing. In 'Fiddler on the Roof,' there is a scene where
the lead looks up and talks to God. I would look up and say, 'Am I really that
stupid?' And I seemed to hear a clear answer saying, 'No, you are not stupid.
You just have to keep at it.' So I did."
