Suppose you can shake hands and get $10,000 or play on and maybe get nothing.
Will your human pride drive you forward?  Even if it pays your rent today by
shaking hands, puts braces on your kids, and gets stuffed animal toys for your
brother's daughter?

I think that someone who plays on for pride is a brick shy of a load, when there
may be a real risk to lose it all.
