A life lesson for me is, how do you muster the courage to take on a new risk? Whether it's starting up a business or taking on a new project or expedition. I think the risks that we take are all relative to the risk-taker.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Just taking risks for risk's sake, that doesn't do it for me. I'm willing to take risks that I think are worth it, and I've worked so hard to make sure that I survive.
Risks are a measure of people. People who don't take them are trying to preserve what they have. Some risks have a future, and some people call them wrong. But being right may be like walking backwards, proving where you've been.
I'm a risk-taker. Most of my career has not been a joyful experience, but it has been challenging. I like the dangers.
Risk means everything from being honest about your faith, to moving, to quitting a job that's paying you a fortune but it's not what's in your heart. Risking things is one of the biggest fears we have.
The greatest risk is really to take no risk at all. You've got to go out there, jump off the cliff, and take chances.
In life you need to take a risk.
Taking a risk is always frightening, but I gave myself a set period of time and had enough money to see me through. I operated from the belief that things would be okay, that if I wasn't successful I would find myself a job, but either way, I would be fine.
There has to be an element of risk-taking for me in my work.
I talk a lot about taking risks, and then I follow that up very quickly by saying, 'Take prudent risks.'
If you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
