I guess the internet is wrong in some places.

It was the computer WOPR who said this in the WarGames movie.

I believe in the film NORAD names their Supercomputer WOPR, but the AI gives itself the name Joshua. Not sure, it's been a while. Guess it's time for a rewatch!

The person who built the AI named it after his dead son.

The problem is that in the investing world, often not playing is losing.

This is also known as 'Half of winning is showing up'.

Heroes are mostly martyrs. Bulk of winning is done by showing up every day and doing small improvements, slowly albeit steadily. This is today's culture is called 'below average' or 'mediocrity'.

Consistent sustained mediocrity, and occasional 1% progress is 99% of success.
