Do you take chances?

I have a moderate appetite for risks.. I weigh all possible pros and cons before making any decision on some things. There were times that I failed and there were also times that I was successful. But there are also instances when I push myself to the limits and take chances.. What do you say about taking chances? In life, do you like taking chances or just going through the same pattern or routine?

When I was young, I liked to take chances. And I did the same thing as you, weighing all possible pros and cons. But now, I am just going through the routine. I am not an ambitious person, and I like stable life. Maybe that means I am already old.

I think that life is about taking chances. If one doesn't take chances, then one is relagated to mediocrity and will end up not living life to the fullest and not realizing ones full potential. I chose to be the best that I can be and that involves taking risk and sometimes being overly positive. But I have never regretted any failure that have resulted from such risk taking. My only regrets are those that I didn't take because I was too careful when I was younger.

when you lost everything... or almost everything all you have is to take chances. because you have nothing to lose anymore. based on my experience if i didnt take chances i might still be with my ex-husband. sometimes people need to take chances than forever thinking about WHAT IFS

NO, I do not like to take chances. I am the LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP person. I am NOT a financial risk taker.

I don't take many chances in life - with one exception: I always take chances when it comes to love. I take the 'leap of faith' into the unknown every time - it hasn't worked out so far, but i don't think i will ever learn.

I try not to take chances but there is times I do. Some times I get inpatient and take a risk.
