No guarantees.

People who insist on having guarantees in life rarely offer the same in return.

Employees want guaranteed job security but would not want to sign an employment bond.

Employers want to ensure that the prospect joins but also want to reserve the right to defer or withdraw the offer up until the joining date.

Companies want the strategy they adopt to *guarantee results* but they’ll never sign up for consequences if they don’t follow every step of that strategy.

Folks want their market investments to make “sure returns”, but are unlikely to sign an agreement of a “sure monthly billing” with their local grocer.

The examples start sounding funny after a point.

But the fact is that all plans - in life and at work - operate on probabilities. There are no guarantees in any game where the future holds the result.

So if you want to try something but are waiting for guarantees, stop seeking that.

Play the game anyway. Maybe the dice will roll in your favor.

Or maybe it won’t, but you may like the game and keep playing for longer.

Eventually, the dice might like you. Well, at least for some time.

And that’s really the best deal that life will offer up anyway.
