La probabilité n'est pas en votre faveur

I realized today that I have been contradicting myself.

I was always quick to dismiss the argument smokers gave me that many people have lived a "healthy" life even after smoking for decades. I have always told them the probability of living such a life is not in their favor. It is just wishful thinking.

But I realized today that only a small fraction of people realize their dreams. But I have always believed I will be one of them. Isn't that wishful thinking as well?
