Taking Risk

Been thinking a lottt lately about ‘taking risk’. Sometimes, I sense that the risk is too high to take, but sometime Pablo’s words awake me about doing things that i’ve already doubt.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Samuel Johnson also has already commented that I shall not think too much about the risks, about the objections, about the obstacles, just put yourself into it, do the best!

Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must be first overcome.

Samuel Johnson, 1759.


Hmmm… 🙂 It’s not easy, really. Taking risk. Some says ‘no pain no gain’, but too much pain will later kill us, dont you think so. Recently, a man (French) sues casino that let him lose £500,000! See,.. we can learn from that case, that once we decided to go for that WIN, prepare and anticipate the potential LOSS. Hard? You bet!
