About This Quote

The idea of flipping a coin is to determine the fate of your life. A coin can be flipped fifty times without getting heads or tails. It is impossible to know which side of the coin the first flip will show. You can, of course, choose to believe that you have a better chance of getting heads than tails on your first flip.

But, if you are smart enough to realize that you have no way of knowing if you are going to be chosen on your next flip, what reason would there be to believe that you will be chosen on your third? How would you know that the coin is biased? You don’t. (Also check out our article about probability.)
