High risk, high reward—this is both a genius's motto and possibly a fool's self-deception. Who can say for sure? Until the dust settles.

But what I want to say is, if you never take off the training wheels, what's the point of training itself? Sometimes you have to go all out to see whether you're truly smart or a fool. If it turns out you're the latter in the end, then this statement can also be considered a form of self-redemption.
