No one, I mean, no one ever wants to hear the word "lose," and this is not our fault, its history embedded both in our societal fabrics and somewhere on the outskirt of our genes, not really. Losing small for the bigger wins sounds like a Kafkaesque dream, but that is true. Why no one wants to lose is glaring enough; history does not celebrate "losers." History is often glazing the winners who themselves have made smaller but very limited losses that cannot do any significant harm.

Who are losers to write history anyway? They only emerged after the winners are declared.

Getting lucky
Therefore, everyone bets on "winning "from the very beginning.
But a closer look into the life of real winners can tell us a thing or two about the benefits or losing small each day until the huge win.
It's akin to the life of entrepreneurs, scientists, writers, freedom fighters, prostitutes, etc. Yes, I said prostitutes, somedays they win and some days they lose.

When we put in the amount of work needed for something to succeed, but the reward is far from coming, smaller losses are inevitable. A prostitute's puts in the work and time and finding a "client, "but some days are too bad that no one will ever notice her. Just like a scientist who spends years finding the cure for cancer or some rare but deadly disease, it might be a decade or more.
This scientist has not been heard of or seen, then suddenly luck and preparation strikes! The scientist is dominating the world headlines, articles, and from critics to fans and who else we can imagine.

This above instance seems like the right path that anyone could undertake, pell-mell or smooth, but what if I tell you that some lose sight of their initial vision and decide to drop their research? Others had no one to believe in them, so a lot of us cannot go any further than a snail can run without support. Some lost funding too, and that was the end of their road to stardom.
Losing a dollar

Would you lose a dollar every day? I doubt.
Okay, would you lose a dollar every day to make 500 dollars at the end of the month? I believe most people will agree with the second question: if they are not on death row.

Some of the most renowned people today lost every day of their lives until the big hit. I have never seen an entrepreneur or superstar who did not miss a thing to get to where he or she is now.

A young boy from Chicago was eager to break and make it, be an icon in what he does, music production, and recording. He decided he had let go almost anything to get to where he aimed to be. Most of the time, he would lock himself in his room, learning, rapping, and making beats except going out to eat, shower, or any other essential things. He did put in the work, lose time, the comfort of everyday life, and probably some friends.
Probably only anecdotal, and at best apocryphal, since everyone can write the most captivating story of how they won, that boy is Kanye West.
Losing time, energy, and money to see something work in the nearest future is called risk-taking.

Why would anyone lose his little money just to for the uncertainty of bigger ones? Most people would shrug it off as gambling. But yes, life is gambling, risking, and loading upfront.
