Risk is something that everyone has to go through in life. It is hard to take a risk but we have to sometimes. It requires good decision to be able to know what's best for us and risk is something we can't avoid sometimes. We just need to do what we got to do in life. i think Risk is part of our daily life, anywhere we go there is risk and whatever we do there is still risk. What do you think is the biggest risk that you already had in life? Mine, is leaving my country and moving to US to start a new life with a new family. It requires a lot of risk and adjustment for me. It is not 100% guaranteed that i will like it here or i'll be able to adjust to the culture, lifestyle, people, weather, and way of living here, but i took the risk and just do what i got to do to be with my hunney. Life is not easy here but I know it's all worth it though. How about you? Tell me the biggest risk you consider in your life?

The biggest risk I took in my life was to quit my job of 28 years and move 800 miles away to a different state, New York. I was fed up with my place of employment. It changed drastically from when I first started working there. It just wasn't fun anymore!
There are times I regret quitting, but the past is the past. I continue to look ahead and explore the different opportunities out there. I also opened up a small home business.
It's all good!
PEACE

I would have to say that the most serious of all risks I had taken in my life was running away from an abusive home when I was 13 years old. I have been on my own since that day and it has turned out to be the best thing I ever done in my life as well. Thanks and have a great one.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I guess i haven't really taken or had to take any major risks in my life. However, I just registered to go to college and I'm doing online school. To get a degree and hope to change career paths. So I guess as of the moment that's my biggest risk. Especially since I"ll be poor forever now!

I think the biggest risk I ever took was when I agreed to go out on a "blind" date when I was 24. First, I am not the kind of woman to date like this. I never had done it before. Second, I am and have been shy my entire life, so meeting a stranger is just that much harder for me to do. I know there are always the usual worries. Things like, will he like me, will I like him, what do we talk about, and things like that.
But for me, and I am sure a lot of others have this in common with me, it was especially hard for me to agree to meet this man when I did. It felt this way for me because about 4 months before we met, I had gone out on a "date" with a different guy. At least, I thought it was supposed to be a date. As it turned out, there was no date for me, because the so-called "man" decided to rape me at his house. Thankfully, I was not physically harmed, but I could not prove it was rape to the police.
4 months later, for some reason I agreed to meet this man at a local restaurant. The only reason I agreed to meet him then was because a co-worker of his at the time was going to the same church I went to at the time. She told me about him, and said he was a good and decent man. Otherwise, I would never had agreed to meet him, much less go any where with him.
Believe it or not, this was one risk that actually paid off for me. We were married in June 1995, and we are still married over 12 years later. I never would have believed it if someone had told me what would happen before it happened. I am still in love with him, and thankful that he is a good and decent man.
