The longer your time horizon, the less damage a mistake will do.
First, there's time to recover the losses.
Second, you can take your time to study the situation from different sides.
Third, when fate takes something away, it always gives something in return.
So, in case of failure, it makes sense to broaden your horizon.
Example:
When your opponent is choking you, sometimes you need to win a couple of seconds.
An extra day can drastically turn negotiations around.
A conflict is resolved if the parties have a larger project in sight.
The terms of cooperation improve if a one-time deal is replaced with a long-term contract.
It's almost always better to have a long-term perspective.
In an infinite series of games, it's impossible to lose.
You are destined to gain strength, wisdom, and peace.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
