In real life, you don't get a reset, and you don't get extra lives, and I got the crap pounded out of me.

About This Quote

When you're playing a video game, there are two ways that the game can end. Either you won or you lost, but if you lose, there's no getting back up to try again. You've lost the game, and it's over. But in real life, there's always a reset button.

When you start over at the beginning of something important, there are no extra lives to use. You have to actually make the best possible decision right now. If you fail, it can be pretty painful.
