Quote by Mike Conner

Life is like a hand of cards. You have to play the hand you're dealt, you can't win by folding, and sometimes you must take chances in order to win.

Life is like a hand of cards. You have to play the hand you'

Summary

This quote metaphorically compares life to playing a hand of cards. It suggests that we cannot control the cards (challenges, circumstances) we are dealt, but we have the power to decide our course of action. Folding (giving up or avoiding risks) won't lead to victory, indicating that in life, we should face and overcome obstacles. It also emphasizes the importance of taking calculated risks, as success often requires stepping out of comfort zones. Essentially, this quote encourages resilience, adaptability, and willingness to embrace opportunities to achieve success in life.
