Learning to take risks—but calculated risks

Learning to play it safe is fine, but learning how to handle yourself in a risky situation is a great accomplishment. If you think about it, the risk is involved, in almost everything that you see, or it might be in absolutely everything that you see. Risk is a part of life. Risk is in everything that we see, even in our own lives. By that what I mean is that nobody knows about the future, or what will happen in the future, which makes us completely uncertain of whether we will exist or not. We just hope for the best and move on.

Risk is a huge element in money and money-making people’s lives. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Gautam Adani, and numerous other billionaires live every moment at the risk of losing everything that they have earned. It is just that they have learnt how to overcome and control that risk and calculate their actions accordingly. 

Even if you see something as simple as riding a bicycle, you will see that risk is involved—the risk of getting hurt by falling. But, if you get up after you fall, use a bandage, and get up and try again until you finally can ride a bicycle, that’s how you will learn and succeed in cycling. And, once you learn how to ride a bicycle, you can ride any other bicycle with the same comfort and skill.

If that’s how you picture risk in your mind, then you will be able to take risks positively. You see, at all times, even after you have learnt how to ride the bicycle, the risk of falling is still there. You never know even after learning to ride it when you will fall. But that shouldn’t stop you from still doing it. Don’t give up just yet.

Also, like once you learn to ride one bicycle, you can ride any other bicycle with the same skill and proficiency. Likewise, you can easily do something else even if one thing that you already have done has failed. And the best part is, you will make fewer mistakes the next time you try, and eventually progress to maybe not making any mistakes at all.

Not just riding a bicycle, but anything that you aim to accomplish has a risk. You always have the risk of losing something. But don’t let that stop you. Instead, let that motivate you to improve yourself as a better person.
