Life is full of choices. I guess you could say they are risks. Somethings will turn out good, while some of our choices will turn out bad. Of course there are wise choices and foolish choices but generally most of them fall somewhere in between.
To risk is to try something new. Something which has the possibility of success or failure. There is always the element of the unknown when we take a risk. It is so easy to play it safe and not take risks in life but isn't taking risks what life is all about?
Most successful people have failed many times in their lives but something kept them going. I think it is because they have an optimistic view and don't see there failures as the end. Most risks have some hope of a reward to them. We believe that it will have a good outcome.
We should not ask ourselves what happens if I fail ?, but rather what happens if I don't try. What opportunity will I miss? Sure it may cost me time, money, humiliation if I don't succeed,but those things can actually produce more determination in the long run to success.
You just never know until you try !
