To Do It … Or Not? Calculate Your Risks
This is a very big question we ask ourselves every day, almost every second of our lives. Almost everything in this world is a risk. To go to sleep at night is, indeed, a risk. Of course since we may not wake up.
Yes, every day that the sun rises above our head, we are called to make choices — and this, even when the sun decides not to get up. Each choice is a crossroad at the turn of which we decide the traffic light that is displayed there. Turn right, left, or turn around? The chosen answer can be crucial to us. Likewise, it may prove to be the best thing we can do. So, do you really have to take risks?
Life would be so much easier for you and me if we knew in advance that such or such risks are to be taken and that such or such other risks are to be left out. That would be great, right? Unfortunately, we are not so lucky. We have no one to tell us in advance what would be the result behind each of the choices we could make. The only way to know is to risk.
Risk success or failure, but calculate your risks! “Whoever tries nothing has nothing,” the saying goes. However, we are often afraid to try for the simple reason that we are afraid. Afraid of failure, afraid of the judgment of others, afraid of ourselves. But let me tell you that most of those who succeeded, did so because they were not afraid to make choices.
Try. This offers us some advantages like making things happen ourselves rather than waiting for them to move on to our way. Open up to new opportunities. Experience new experiences. Learn a little more about yourself and your skills. This allows us to grow, but also and above all, to increase our self-confidence. Of course, you will ask me if it’s always the same when we fail after taking a risk. Well, know that taking risks is exciting and makes us live again. After a failure, learn from it to give better results next time. That’s what will make you stronger.
Do not let your thirst for winning die. Risk, risk and risk until failure is tired of you.
The best known experiment is probably that of Thomas Edison who, before getting a light bulb that works, had to make thousands of prototypes that failed one after the other. As Paulo Coelho said, “To love is to risk rejection. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. To risk is a necessity. Only the one who dares to risk is really free. ”
Take the risk, I’m ready to try something new today, are you?
