“I lost a lot of money in gambling. I had a business of my own, and about half a million in savings, but then the opportunity to bet came along, and I thought, okay, let’s put in the money and see what happens. But you see me now in a bus, you can guess what happened. It’s okay though. My child is all grown up, my business has restarted, and things are stable again.”“Why’d you do it?”“I don’t know. I looked at it and I thought - quick money, retire easily. But I guess there’s no real shortcuts in life.”“If you had to go back, would you change it?”“Of course. I think about it every day. But it’s the past. You run from it or learn from it.” -- source link
