Knowledge allows gamblers to learn from other gamblers' mistakes without having to make the same mistakes themselves. Knowledge allows the gamblers to think in different ways and make different decisions that give them a better chance for success. Losers devalue knowledge. They say that no one knows them or the person they are in love with. They will say it is their life and they will make mistakes if they want to.
Losers never consider the high price of ignorance.
They would rather feel the sharp pain of relationship failure than admit they had not taken the time and energy to make an informed relationship decision. Successful Relationship Gamblers do not play by someone else's rules. They set a standard for themselves and they do not vary from that standard. If, at any time, they are asked to play by someone else's rules or leave the game, they will not debate the issue, they will leave the game. The successful gambler knows that it is easier for someone to cheat if that someone is playing by his or her own set of rules rather than an agreed upon set of rules.
