An airplane is always safe on the ground
but it's not made for that.
So always take some meaningful risks in
life to get great acheivements in whatever you do.

Do you agree?

    Yeah, everywhere there's a risk. All you need to do is trust your own self.

  • Everything has a risk. Even sitting in the bus stop has risks.

    The only difference is the levels of risk and the pay-offs or consequences they bring.

    Even sitting at home and DOING NOTHING is a risk. Getting a job and going to work also has it's own share of risks as much as starting something on your own and working for yourself does.

    All in essence, everything has a risk - it's all a question of which one will you take?

      I agree everything does have risks, I think his point was to not let risk cripple one from taking action or worse yet totally disregard risk assesment and just do something even if it's not in your best interest ala YOLO

      This, to me, is the greatest risk of all... losing the opportunity to create something amazing, build something great, or achieve life long dreams simply because you decide to do nothing.

      And yes, I agree that you shouldn't allow risk to prevent you from getting out there. Another quote to add:

    I used to work on airplanes. It's a myth that they are safe on the ground!! I have the scars to prove it. I don't have any scars from aeroplanes when they were flying.

    Here's something peculiar - I see people driving down British motorways doing 95mph. This typically saves them about 2 minutes over an average journey compared to doing 70mph. They arrive. They amble into the office/shop/home in slo-mo!!? It's funny!

  • I agree. I live life on the edge. I never know what is going to happen next. It can be scary but the alternatives would be even scarier.

    Sensible advice. Hopefully it will motivate people to take more action.

    an airplane is safe in the air as well as all involved have taken every step possible to eliminate risks.

    the guys who work on helicoptors to fix power lines do not take risks.. they manage and eliminate every risk they can ..
