Emotions are like wild horses... they can only be tamed when they get tired.. :).. nice quote.. has a nice meaning if understood well..
Just a thought.. life is about making decisions..taking risks.. and exploring oneself and life.. life has no meaning without the gamble we do at every step. gamble not in actual sense, but literally, holding the meaning that we have to play our cards right. we don't know what is going to happen at next step, yet we anxiously wait for that 'next' moment.. maybe because there is uncertainty involved in it .. if we play it wrong, we end up either in despair and frustration or in a more confident way to play more and win it 'right' this time.. At every stage of making decisions, we have two options to chose. One, where we very carefully calculate all the permutations and combinations and then play safely. Second, to understand the risks involved and then play smartly.  I believe in choosing the second path, not because i feel I will always play smartly , but because if I wont choose the risky path I'll always have a "maybe I could win" feeling. At least, now I have taken the risk and I know for sure what was the fate ..it gives me a chance to know and explore myself more as a person too.. what's the point in being safe all the time.. living in 'maybe' world is not my cup of tea. What is yours? :)
