Hi Steve,

Joe Ross used to say "I refuse to lose." It's like that Gene Hackman movie "Heist" if you saw it: Hackman's character always had a "Plan B," a "Plan C," and a "Plan D." At the end of the movie he wins because he had that "Plan D."

Agreed, it's like if you're in a sailboat you can't control the waves or the direction of the wind but you can move your controls so you still get to your destination.

Best,
