TAKING RISKS
We feel a thrill when we do something difficult and it works out well. We feel foolish when we've been over ambitious and fail. But those of us not willing to risk failure can never truly enjoy the elation of success.
Good fortune does not just come to us, we have to go after it by taking risks. We actually take risks everyday. Some so much that we don't even consider them a risk. Getting into you car everyday is a risk of an accident but we do it without much thought.
Willingness to take risks separates the achievers from ordinary people. The key to taking risks is to be responsible about it. If it's an extreme risk, do some research. In the same way don't over-analyze or you may miss an opportunity. Whether you play it safe, or go for broke... you may end up wishing you made the other choice. Making the initial choice can even be a risk. Don't allow the fear of failure to hinder you from experiencing the thrill of success.
