Yep, if you don't start something you will never achieve success. If you're too scared to do something, you'll never be able to do it. That's my motto so if there was a chance and it didn't do any damage to the environment around me, then why not ?

I should go farward,with out thinking what is going to happen i win whole prize or loose it."Prize" in other words our Goal. Whenver we took part in competion/game there one thing happen either we will win or loose it.Every participent take part with a positive attidue/wining attitude,all do their best for acheveing their goal , if we give ourself completely how we satisfy own with half prize.

If it is cash, chances are I will stop, but if it is a material possession that I do not care for, why not go for it? I'm reminded of the famous Monty Hall question. You are shown three doors. Behind two of the doors are "booby" prizes, things that are not really desirable, but behind one door is the "fantastic" prize. First you choose a door. Then Monty, the host, shows you a door that was one of the "booby" prizes. Then you are given the option to change your mind and take the other door, if you wish. Choosing one door by itself makes the chances of winning 1 of 3. By switching doors after showing a losing door, you double your chances to 2 of 3. This can be demonstrated: One chance is choosing the winning door. You are shown a losing door, and if you change doors, you lose. There are two chances you chose a losing door. When Monty shows you a door that is a loser, when you change doors, you chose the winner. It took me some time to think it through.
