Part 9/11:
A recurring theme in the narrative is the human appetite for risk, exemplified by Michael Jordan’s infamous remark about an improbable 10% chance of career-ending failure. Such recklessness resembles the mindset of athletes and gamblers who believe “it won’t happen to me,” ignoring the potentially devastating consequences.
