Do you take risks?

Yes, I do take risks. I don't take them like I used to years ago but none the less I still take some. I am like you, one will never know what will happen if they don't try. Risks can be good or bad.

Always! I honestly believe that everything you do is a risk. Even just stepping outside your door is a risk. You never know if you might trip off or something. That's why it's very important which risks to take and not to take. If you don't take any, I guess you might not really live at all.

Well, at this time I'm taking a risk with a home based business because my dream is to be self-employed. The only way to advance in life is to get out of the comfort zone and take a risk for the better.

i am not a risk taker. they say a lot of successful people are risk takers. it didnt sway me.

Hi Pose: Being honest I must admit that I'm not a really good risk taker. On the opposite I'm very perfectionist and I'd like to have everything planned. I know life is full of risk and there's no way we could find a "risk free" situation but I try my best to control some of the situations in my life. ALVARO

Sometimes we have to take risks in life. I cannot discuss much.

I do...to a certain extent. I wouldn't do anything that is a risk that might hurt myself...but step up and try something new even though its a risk....yup that I do.

Some times we do have to take the risk. Yet, I would say, one needs to weigh the pros and cons very thoroughly before going ahead. That is to say, calculated risk rather than just totally blind risk. Take the risk if the chances of success is more than chances of failure.

I have taken alot of risks in my life especially as I have gotten older. Quitting my job at the age of 50 and moving to New Mexico was a big risk. I loved it in the beginning but realized I didn't want to be there forever. So now I have moved to Puerto Rico and have lived here for a year and love it. These were big risks that people thought I was crazy but I did it and have been very happy with my decision. The other bigger decision was raising my two girls by myself and thank God did a pretty good job of it. If you don't take a risk you are not living in my opinion.

Living your life each and every day to the fullest, that can be a risk to some people. I mean when you really think about it, there are many people who do live half lives, do not really get the most out of it. Because they are afraid of change, afraid of what living their life outside of their box will mean. However, when you think about it, a life without taking a risk every now and again, that is rather something that would be rather boring. It would be a rather bland existence. Granted, when one thinks about it, there is a difference between taking risks and also from being reckless. There are many people who really have not been able to determine that fine line between risks and reckless when one thinks about it. Still every time, we got to step out of the mundane. And that is what I do a few times, every now and then again. Live life to its fullest. You never know when you might not get another chance. Therefore risks will add character for sure.

Where's the fun if there's no risk.

hi:) yeah I also take risk, but I thought of it first over and over before I give it a go. surely is no guarantee but that's the beauty of taking risk right?

I love taking risks. It is through these things I can achieve my goals and can learn from it. I have always been the type of person who just follows what others say to me, but as time pass by, I learned to do it my way. I learned to take the risk. Even though I am not quite sure where it may lead to but nevertheless I tried. It may be scary to take your chances but what if the outcome is good. You might regret not taking the risk.

Usually I like to keep everything safe, be in control of everything but that's not always possible. And sometimes, to reach something important you'll need to take risks. So yeah, sometimes I'll be willing to take a risk, if I really want to achieve something it may be necessary.

Yes, you're really right. Unfortunately, logic doesn't always match with out emotions, so fear can stop us from doing things that are even really good ideas. Not taking a chance is an option, but only sometimes is it a logical one.

I am a great pro and con list maker. This is what I do when I have time to consider a risk. Time is the secret here, that isn't always allowed. If I have no time I think of the most terrible outcome and how I would handle that and then I deciede what my choice will be. Of course if I wasn't attracted to the good outcome I wouldn't even consider the risk.

Well, I understood that, with higher risk, the return is much greater, but I just don't have the gut to invest in any risky business. I had lost a lot recently, and I owe a lot of debt. Even invest in people is such a risky business, don't you know that. I learn my lesson, and I become a bit afraid of losing things lately. So, something too risky, I won't take a chance.
