Are you a risk taker?

Hi there, Shavkat. Thanks for starting this discussion. If you search in the search box "mylot risk taker", you will find many results for similar discussion. This subject is popular. Taking risks in life is not my strong side but I know that taking risks can make me grow and learn more about myself, my abilities and life. I have a friend who doesn't do anything in his life for some years now. I just took a chance and went to a first date with a woman and the first date was in her house with her mom and brother welcoming me. The woman came back from work and was surprised to see me waiting for her with her mom and brother. I think that is a risk because the woman could see this as rudeness. I guess it was fine because our moms had talked earlier.

Risk is a problem which you are scared to face in your everyday life.I hate to take unknown risk that will put you and others into danger.If the risk I take only involves me,then I face the risk with prayer power.

I take risks. But, I do this reasonably. There is no need to risk your life or your rent money. Taking risks is about knowing how. I am always one that would rather be safe than sorry. In this world where there is not much certainty, risk takers must be cautious. If there is no turning back from the risks one takes. It could mean having lifelong regret.

Hi Shavkat: I think there must be a balance between your feelings and your rational part. So I don't consider myself a risk taker. I analyse and make plans. I want to have control in my life so I don't usually work making a one minute decision. But of course if you don't have another option then you have to act fast and take an action after an emergency.

hi, yes,i also experienced this and as usual here in my work again,there are times that i have been encoded some applications supposed to be a defective one,and aside from that some agent pay for that,sometimes if i don't have enough money for my allowance i usually accept it and take the risk.

I agree, if there is no other way out many will take the risk. I think if there is a door to escape out of people will take it.

I can be a risk taker. But it really depends on what it is. I took a risk with my ex husband and moved to Florida with my kids. About five years later, I moved back to Ohio because he had gained a mistress. My oldest boy stayed in Florida. Three years later, he took a risk and moved back to Ohio with me. He left all the friends he knows to move to a stay that all he knew was my siblings. But hardly any cousins because they wasn't born yet. He gave up a great paying job that he was moving up in. He was a manager of a retail store. Now he works at Kroger's (a grocery store). He has already been promoted in the two months he has been there. He took a risk and it paid off. I took a risk moving to Florida and failed. I moved back home, my life has gotten better and I have found a new man who truly loves me. My risk turned out well.

Yes I am. Especially when I was younger. I was bolder, braver. Now I'd like to think I've grown wiser. I still take risks but now I choose my battles wisely.

It is not easy to take risks. Usually I too avoid risks. There are so many things to consider before taking any risk. When there is a ‘do or die’ situation then anyone will ready to take a risk. I like to take risk for others.

Yes, I am a risk taker. I am like those people who go and do things and either are called "losers" or "a success!" I was an adult educator in Detroit and I taught math. I hated Detroit and did everything I could to leave. I am also a writer and was having some things published. So I saved up some money and moved back to Pittsburgh where I first went to college. I gambled that I could get a teaching job in adult education and my writing career would blossom. Instead, I've spent most of my later years cleaning bathrooms and tutoring for little money. In most cases I could be called a "loser." Yet, I have fulfilled my aspirations of being a writer and have been published many times and had a book published although it wasn't successful. So yes, I was a risk taker and the verdict is still out.

Well, to be honest, I, up to as much as I can, I try to avoid risk. Moreover, for the life I lead, fortunately I do not have to take the great responsibilities such, to take me on the threshold of having to risk anything. If one day, however, I was given the opportunity to take risks to get something in return, I, frankly speaking, I do not think that I would accept such offer!

In every decision that we made, there is an underlying risk. Although some actions has a greater risk than the other. Personally, I would try to minimize the risk by identifying and addressing them as early as possible. Anticipating that some unwanted things might happen as we carry out a particular action can be of help to minimize the risk. Have a nice day!

Having no choice is not truly taking the risk. It is merely accepting the only choice. Taking the risk is giving up something or doing something even if you know that there are other choices. I've taken the risk many times. A lot of times, I lost, got hurt, and been mocked. However, there is a lesson in every thing that we do, even taking risks. Those people who are too afraid to take risk may not experience pain, but they will never accomplish great things. Only the risk-takers experience great victory.

Everything that we face must have its own risks, whether it is small or large risk

Sometimes and there are chances that I have to take the risk to we if it will be better in the end. Taking risk could be somehow my way to prove myself that I can do it that giving up is not an option. Have to take risk if its the only way to make things better.

No ,i am not a risk taker. I prefer to do anything up to the requirement. If that is required then i think twice and do it as per my knowledge and interest.

I used to be. I was a risk taker...but things have changed. Now that I am a parent, I cannot play daredevil to anything i wish to go about. I always need to be safe for the one who needs me.

Dear friend, I think I am not a risk taker. Most time, I just do the things that I can hold. have a nice day.
