Most people are so afraid of losing that they never get in the game, so they can never win. They spend their lives in fear of losing their jobs, and never break out on their own and become billionaires as some other American does every week. Did Mark Zuckerberg founder of Facebook become a billionaire while working for Yahoo? I think not.
It's all about learning to take risks. It's safest in the short term to work for someone else and let them take the risks for you, but long term, you're never going to get rich or famous working for someone else. Heck, when your employer loses the game, you all get fired anyway when he goes out of business, so why would anyone work for someone else? Laziness and fear, that's why, but that's another day's story.
So how does this relate to photography? Simple: the best photos happen only when you take the risks to get them. Just like life, you can't win if you're not even in the game. You have to be willing to lose a few in order to win big.
