Eric Siu explores what risk-taking means for success, citing Mark Zuckerberg and tracing the word gamble back to Old English gamel, meaning to game. The clip asks how much you're willing to stake to win.
When you look at that and you said the word gamble, right? I'm pretty sure when we look at starting things, we don't think it's much of a gamble. We think it's a no-brainer, right? And I think, you know, who said this? Mark Zuckerberg said this, right? That the biggest risk is not taking any risk. So you should be taking those gambles because that's where success comes from.
Yeah. And actually, I just, I love, you know, words, etymology, word origins. I just looked up the word gamble. Guess what the origin of the word gamble is?
I have no clue.
It comes from an obsolete Old English word meaning— or called gamel, to play games, from the verb to game. I never knew that. How about that, man? That's helpful. Yeah. How, how perfect.
