And if you roll the dice, you'll roll a two, you'll roll a three, occasionally you'll roll a six.

And that's when it pays back.

But unless you're prepared to roll the dice, you never roll a six.

You're looking for some stimulation.

You're looking for a different idea.

You're looking for a different approach in life.

Something which just triggers your brain to think of something new because habits are dangerous and we slip into habits.

There was a very interesting experiment in London where the metro system, the underground, went down for a while and everyone had to find a different way to work.

for a while.

And then maybe they might go on a boat, they might go on the train, they might go on by bicycle, they might go by bus.

And then once the, I think it was a strike, the underground strike was over, a lot of people returned.

And over 90%, we could track this through the use of the Oyster card, which was the card which tracked people's voyages.

Over 90% went back to the way they'd previously traveled to work.

But a high number, 7%, 8%, 9%, stayed with the new method they found.

They didn't go back to what they'd been done for the previous many, many years because they'd been forced to try something new.

They actually found something that was more interesting, more quicker, more beneficial for some reason, and they stuck with it.

So when we're forced to change, very often it's uncomfortable, but we find something interesting in that change.

That's true.

I mean, Thomas Edison might be the exception to that rule.

But yes, generally speaking, you're right.
