That's kinda like the whole glass half empty/half full thing isn't it? I'd definitely go for more rather than less. IMHO it's better to have made a few mistakes (and learnt from them) rather than regretting not taking the opportunities in the first place. I guess though I'm almost psychotic in my optimism - not everyone's way but it gets me through the day...
