“The thing that I wanted... was success,”he told the BBC.His motivation was not,he said,to get rich,but to continue to be seen as a success.When his first trading mistake threatened that perception,he started down the path that was going to lead him all the way to a Singaporean jail cell.He had no way of knowing that's where it was going to end, but as soon as he took that first step, there was no longer a boundary where it suddenly made sense to turn around.The next step is always a small one, and given what you've already done, why stop now? Leeson described the feeling of walking down this dark road:“[I] wanted to shout from the rooftops... this is what the situation is, there are massive losses, I want it to stop. But for some reason you're unable to do it.”
That is the peril of marginal thinking, of doing something just this once, of only applying your rules most of the time. You can't. I'm sure Leeson could have imagined the consequences of owning up to his initial mistake,painful though they might have been. The costs of taking the high road are always clear like that. But the costs of taking the low road-the one Leeson took- don't seem that bad at the start.There is no way Leeson could have imagined that covering up that one small mistake would result in his losing everything he valued in his life— his freedom, his marriage, and his career.But that's exactly what ended up happening.
“我想要的东西...就是成功，”他告诉BBC。他说，他的动机不是富有，而是继续被视为成功。当他的第一个交易错误威胁到这种看法时，他开始走上了这条路，这条路把他带到新加坡的监狱里，他无法预知那里是结束的地方，但一旦他迈出了第一步，就不再有让他能突然转身的边界。接下来的一步也是很小，鉴于已经迈开第一步，你不会就此打住。里森描述了走在这条黑暗道路上的感觉:“我想到屋顶上大喊...情况就是这样，损失巨大，我希望停下。但出于某种原因，你做不到。”
这就是边际思维的危险，仅此一次的危险，大部分时间你只用自己的规则的危险。你不能停下。我敢肯定，李森能够想象承认自己最初错误的后果，尽管这可能是痛苦的。也就是说走正道的代价总是显而易见的。但是走捷径的代价——李森走的那条路——在一开始看起来没有那么糟糕。李森不可能想到掩盖这个小错误会导致他失去他生命中所珍视的一切——他的自由、他的婚姻和他的事业。但这正是最终发生的事情。
