  • we live in an age anda time where the riskiest thing is to have a job with a paycheck.. that you need .

    the more of your personal well being you put in sources outside yourself .. the bigger risk you take .

    he key is risk management .. not blindly taking risks .. without thinking you are taking a risk

    • So true man, the 9-5 is safe, but for how long? Not to mention the headaches, this is exactly why so many are underpaid and we have a huge federal deficit, not enough people taking charge and forging their own businesses.

  • Live as if today is your last day.

    We have no guarantee that we will be alive tomorrow.

    If you don't take risks, you will remain where you are now for the rest of your life

  • Taking risks is something that is generally people avoid, cause we all fear failure. But also avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
  • risk is basically getting out of our comfort zone.
    Risk is beautiful just like change
  • If we knew we were going to fail no matter what, we probably would not go through with the project.

    On the other hand there might be those out there who would sense this one unavoidable failure is only the first step in perhaps many other adventures to come. BUT, . . . there are bound to be many grand successes along the way as well. And the unspoken guarantee that "if you participate" you will receive it all, good & bad, still stands.

    It's the play of the opposites that can give the participant a roller coaster ride of his life. Hey, but why not? Life is for living!

  • You won't know how to rise up if won't allow it to fall...
  • I was actually reading something about Bill Bartman today who was at one time 25th richest man in America.

    He said the secret to success was to take risks, but people are afraid to take risks because they are afraid to fail. The reason people are afraid to fail is because they care about what other people think of them. The way to stop caring about what other people think is to raise your self esteem.

    That's not an exact quote but that was the general idea of what he was saying.

    One way of building up your self esteem when first starting out is to set ridiculously easy goals, im talking like $1 easy.
