It was satisfying to take a risk and see it pay off.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Of course risk-taking does not always pay off, but it's a lot of fun!
If it was really successful, it was a life calling, a career I was excited about doing, so I didn't think the overall risk was anywhere near as high as what the reward was.
I realized I really liked the screen. I knew it was a challenge, but I wasn't afraid of 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.
As I began to take risks, leaving my very comfortable and secure job and taking this first leap into fashion, every subsequent risk became easier to take because I began to see the kind of opportunity and excitement that risk-taking offered.
I have always believed that the risk takers are eventually rewarded.
The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.
It's easy to walk away from risk, and you don't actually have to face it. Success is based upon overcoming the inherent risk you can't manage your way out of.
Looking back, of course, it was irresponsible, mad, forlorn, idiotic, but if you don't take chances then you'll never have a winning hand, and I've no regrets.
I feel fortunate that I was able to step away from it when I wasn't interested.
