There's a popular remark among gamblers in the part of my country I reside. The saying is expressed like this "if you quit that's when you lose". They use this statement to encourage and give futuristic hope to themselves that no matter how much they loss today or how many wagers they have lost they don't need to quit as it's possible you may be the next jackpot winner tomorrow.
If I can attest to exactly the same thing you wrote, I'd say there wasn't any certainty to that mentioned scenerio... You made use of a modal verb - "MAY" which doesn't infer any certainty as I said earlier - so what they keep saying is PROBABLY True BUT not, I repeat NOT GUARANTEED..
everyone is made to face Thier fears in life - how about if yours is actually - losing for every single time, on every speculations?? And I'm sure yunno that anyone that's encouraged by others to conquer his WORST fears is always left to face his fate alone, not even the motivators would come for consolations.. so what's the wisdom in that??
