Hit the slopes and remember the ski lift

Ever been skiing or snowboarding?

I had lessons for both as a child, and I learned an unlikely life lesson:

You always have another run at the slope, thanks to the ski lift.

It’s worth giving this run (or project, or business) your best shot. If it doesn’t turn out the way you hoped, you can just hop on the ski lift and try again.

So long as you don’t have a run so spectacularly bad that you severely hurt yourself (the worst I did was ding my wrist before I knew to wear guards; in metaphoric terms this could mean over-exposing your finances or compromising your integrity) you always have another run at the slope.

It’s time to hit the slopes!
