Wow, I never knew this was the story behind FedEx. This is quite interesting. Although not everyone has such a good luck especially in these kind of situations luck really favored Smith.
Also, it was his smartness at that moment that he decided to stop gambling more after winning $27000. May be he could have lost it all if he would have gambled more.
He made the right decision to invest that amount into his company and the growth he is seeing in his business these days is due to his smart work. He deserves it.

That's true that luck are sometimes hard to attract or find when you badly need a money and then you gamble your last money, usually you can only lose but not for this guy. Despite knowing that the 27k was still not enough to get the business running properly he still discontinued gambling and invest the money on his losing company.

Luckily he overcome its issue that time, making the company running smoothly again. If those winning moment happen to other normal gamblers I think they will get overwhelmed and forgot their true purpose on why they gamble and want to earn some money but they will continue till their wins turns into a loss.

That's exactly where most of the gamblers tend to make a mistake. They don't quit while they are in profits.
They keep playing and eventually lose. If at all most of them start to quit when they are in profits then casinos will turn out to make losses instead.

Yes, gambling will make us have a high curiosity which is actually a trap, I mean many gamblers don't think when getting a win is luck and instead turn luck into defeat and even lose everything.
when we get a win that's where the real luck and the action that must be taken is to stop when we get a victory, in order to get a complete victory. But most of them continue to play out of curiosity and hope to keep on winning which is actually greed that will cost them.
