Description: Imagine a speck of dust next to a planet a billion times the size of the
earth. The speck of dust represents the odds in favor of your being born;
the huge planet would be the odds against it. So stop sweating the small
stuff. Don't be like the ingrate who got a castle as a present and worried
about the mildew in the bathroom. Stop looking the gift horse in the
mouth—remember that you are a Black Swan. And thank you for reading
my book. --- "The Black Swan, The Impact of the
HIGHLY IMPROBABLE", Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Random House, 2007
