For every cute motivativational saying .... there is another that preaches the opposite.

“When some sad old dream reminds you
How the endless road unwinds you
While you see a chance
Take it
Find romance
Fake it
Because it's all on you
Don't you know by now
No one gives you anything
And don't you wonder
How you keep on moving
One more day
Your way
Go your way
When there's no one left to leave you
Even you don't quite believe you
That's when nothing can deceive you”

- Steve Winwood
He said it best IMO

I think that sometimes we need to stop with the cliches and the metaphors. Rarely are things so black and white.

A shoot your shot cautionary tale: https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/rhode-island/2019/09/16/after-book-purchase-blunder-providence-state-officials-raise-questions/eTDRVJbOcwhOStU1ROPesL/story.html

High level public school administrator impulse buys $187,000 worth of copies of the inspirational, Christian book Shoot Your Shot. It does not end well.

Well, if you dodged them then you would know. You apparently have not dodged a bullet.

"Dodge some bullets" is not just a tired expression, it also is stupid since bullets aren't dodgeable.

Generally. But if you always take a shot (ball hog) when the better choice would be to pass, you may lose out and not be picked for the team next time.
