Low odds are still odds. Somebody always lands in that small percentage. Why not you?

A small chance is still a real one, and the people who end up inside it are not a different species. They are the ones who stayed in the pool long enough to be counted. Odds describe a crowd, not a person, and nothing in the number tells you where you will personally land. Improbable and impossible are not the same word.

If something matters to you, enter it instead of talking yourself out of it in advance. Then take the steps that quietly improve your position, because odds respond to preparation. Being in the running is the one requirement that is entirely yours.
