Walter Isaacson Quote
While gambling at checkers with some shipmates, he formulated an infallible rule, which was that if two persons equal in judgment play for a considerable sum, he that loves money most shall lose; his anxiety for the success of the game confounds him. The rule, he decided, applied to other battles; a person who is too fearful will end up performing defensively and thus fail to seize offensive advantages.
