Nassim Nicholas Taleb Outcomes Quotations

If you are in banking and lending, surprise outcomes are likely to be negative for you.

Wear your best for your execution and stand dignified. Your last recourse against randomness is how you act - if you can't control outcomes, you can control the elegance of your behaviour. You will always have the last word.

Probability is not about the odds, but about the belief in the existence of an alternative outcome, cause, or motive.
