"Discretion is the better part of valour," advised the great Bard to the world. And many kings and their kingdoms have fallen by not paying heed to that advice. Because only bravado doesn't win you wars, sometimes you need shrewd, meticulous manipulations to win them.
In recent times, Diego Maradona an adventurous player himself, said, "Flamboyant teams may win your hearts, but solid teams win the cups." He was talking of the flashy, flying Dutchmen at the Euro Soccer championships who were brought crashing down by the Russian revolutionaries on the field.
In tinsel town, we have often seen many seemingly brave decisions fall flat on their face and rather safe bets riding high. And it only makes sense to learn from one's mistakes, drop false bravado and play it safe. If once adventurous Bipasha Basu seems overtly cautious and self-conscious today, its probably because she's learned the magic word, 'discretion'.
