Don’t complain too loud about wrongs done you; you may give ideas to your less imaginative enemies. - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Some people are so foolish that they only get answers right when they misunderstand the question.

A lesson I learned from this ancient culture is the notion of megalopsychon (a term expressed in Aristotle’s ethics), a sense of grandeur that was superseded by the Christian value of “humility.” There is no word for it in Romance languages; in Arabic it is called Shhm — best translated as nonsmall. If you take risks and face your fate with dignity, there is nothing you can do that makes you small; if you don’t take risks, there is nothing you can do that makes you grand, nothing.

Never show a risk number, even if it is right.
