Are We Willing To Risk

Risk taking is an integral part of business and life, but so few people know how to manage it properly.  The word risk has a slightly negative connotation to it — it implies danger, tension, and possible loss.  But risk also has a positive side, the chance of hitting a big win, of getting more on the back side than you invest on the front side.

People engaged in every kind of human endeavor say that taking risks is the key to fulfillment and success. It is at the heart of our biggest thrills and proudest achievements. 

President Barack Obama talked about this in his inaugural address. "Greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted—for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things."

But what about intelligent risks?  Those are obviously the ones where the upside outweighs the downside, at least probability-wise.  You won’t find too many of those risks in casinos.


But keeping in mind that "Victor is he who goes along"

In order for people to be happy, sometimes they have to take risks. It's true these risks can put them in danger of being hurt.

But the rewards are always worth
