YOU CAN’T WIN IF YOU’RE NOT AT THE TABLE.

YOU CAN’T WIN IF YOU’RE NOT AT THE TABLE. Ben Stein (of the Comedy Central show, WIN BEN STEIN’S MONEY) wrote a book called BUNKHOUSE LOGIC some years before he became featured on television and in the movies. It was an advice book based on what he had learned at that early point in his life. One of the lessons was that the people he had known who had gone on to success (one of them was Goldie Hawn), had taken a number of chances with high returns. The lesson Ben Stein took from this is “You can’t win if you’re not at the table.” One could say that after he wrote the book, Ben Stein was at whatever table it was that gave him a movie and television career.
