Anyone who divulges a prediction or expresses an opinion without risking anything at the same time looks like a charlatan. If he does not risk going to the bottom with the ship, he looks like a spectator of an adventure film.
I'm a good mom. But that doesn't mean I'm a good girl. I need a risk.
Those who are not ready to lose are not ready to win. If you lose sight of the familiar coastline, you will find a new land. Get rid of the junk - you will become lighter, you will fly higher. If you risk stability for the sake of a dream, you will get a satisfied smile at the end of your life. And you won't forgive yourself if you don't dare. This is what a sad old man from the island of Curacao told me.
Ordinary people can dare more than once, but not everyone is capable of doing this at the right time.
Security is largely a prejudice. In the long run, avoiding danger is no safer than going to meet it. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
The merit of the strategist is to make reasonable decisions, and those who voluntarily risk their lives win the battle.
You can invest not only money, but also your knowledge, and your ideas, and your time, in the end. But all the same, any investment is a risk. You will never win big if you only minimize the risks.
Bear in mind that great love and great success come with great risks.
Everything is at stake. Is always.
Zombies on a zombie hater party - you can't think of the riskier risk.
I have nothing else, so everything is allowed to me. Anything. I have nothing to lose.
I will not risk my life for those who are afraid to risk theirs.
It was a very risky plan. - Big risks - big rewards! The only game worth playing. “Maybe you should.” Him - no. “That's what I like about you, Stars and Stripes: your glass is always half full. Sour milk.
Kai ... Kai risked his life for me. With your only life. I am not able to risk mine, so I must risk everything besides my life.
You said that after Julia you don't want to ... - I didn't want to. And I don’t want to. Just the thought that the child will settle in our hearts, and we will lose him again - can you bear it? Me not. But if the child is already there, this is different. A child is not a thought, it is flesh and blood. If you can risk your heart again ... - I can. - Then I can.
In the real world, they just shoot at you, Loman. Because that's the dude on the meth, because you're a cop. Now, even in our department, we cannot be safe. And if this guy pulls out the barrel instead of the phone, and we wait until we are convinced, it will be too late. But you will get a beautiful funeral, at least. “I would prefer a funeral for a worthy cause rather than contribute to this problem. - Yes, if those who throw stones at the cops themselves reviled this badge for one day, they would understand that there is a war going on here, and the enemies dress the same way as civilians. - Oh, let's be honest, sometimes enemies dress the same way as we do. And I don't mean just the intelligence department. - Do you want the truth? Under these clothes, I'm still black. Yes, but if I get shot, I'll just be a dead cop. I signed up for this risk myself. - Some solutions should appear. - Yes, today I am grateful that you stopped me, but tomorrow ... Tomorrow we may be the ones who are lying on the street.
I like to take risks. - It's noticeable by the tie.
Crowe, what are you doing here? - You haven't contacted for weeks! You can't just go and go on a mission like that! “I'm not one of your sent Cossacks, Jimmy. You sent me to get information about our enemy, and here's a report for you: her [Salem] agents are already here. - We know that. - Oh, you know! Oh, thank you to me risking my own head to keep you informed! A bond is when both sides have contact, buddy. See? There is a "Send Message" button here. - Crow! ... Go on. “Your little pest is not just another pawn. It is she who is responsible for the current state of the Virgin of Autumn. - What?! - Regardless of how others see us, we are not just teachers. People in this room, heads of other academies - we protect the world from evil, the existence of which he does not even know. This is why we are meeting behind closed doors! This is why we work in the shadows! So tell me James - when you brought your army to Vail, did you really decide to be careful, or did you just give up on our rules? “That’s not how caution works. I did it out of necessity. - You're here because Ozpin wants it! He accepted you into our community, initiated you into the course of the real war that we are waging ... - And I am grateful to him for that. - You have a funny way of showing your gratitude. “Vale's people need a protector who will not sit idly by. They will feel safe when they see my fleet in the sky, and our enemies will see our strength. - Ha ha ha! Do you really think they'll be scared of your boats? I was there, I saw what they did. And take my word for it - they instill fear. “And fear gets Grimm’s attention. The guardian is a symbol of security, but the army is a symbol of conflict. Tension is already in the air, and people are wondering: what is the size of the threat, that a whole fleet is needed to repel it? - And what do you propose to do? - Find the real Guardian.
"He who does not take risks does not drink champagne." Painfully familiar phrase, isn't it?
Risk, as a noble deed, is present in our life all the time. People take risks almost every day, because you never know where you will fall, and what will happen to you, leaving the entrance of the house in the morning. And for some people, the risk is simply contraindicated: in the most ordinary situation, they manage to get involved in a ridiculous story ... As for me, remembering the good old saying that I gave as an example at the beginning, I always take risks and hope for a positive outcome of events. Indeed, we do a lot. Sometimes it is useful to take a risk, because sometimes risk saves someone's life: animals, people, given that in life we take risks at every step: health, money, finances and, in general, destinies.
For a long time it was believed that all people are initially divided into two categories: those who are ready to take a risk, and those who prefer not to take it in an unforeseen situation. However, American psychologists have refuted this theory. Scientists from the University of Michigan have found that in fact, people take risks and pass not because of their inclinations, but because of circumstances. The researchers themselves do not consider their discovery a sensation: in their opinion, people are too complex creatures to unconditionally classify them in one category or another.
Many professions are initially associated with great risk - the military, pilots, firefighters, astronauts go to it ... A distinctive feature of such a risk is a clear motivation for actions. An acquaintance of mine, a military doctor who works in military training grounds on the border, constantly risks his life to save people. His risk is based on moral principles and a sense of duty.
Sometimes people risk their lives for the thrill - racers, climbers, stuntmen. In addition, the services of risk lovers - surfing, rollerblading, skateboarding ... There are so many dangerous sports, and just entertainment, that you can't list them all. Some people need risk, like doping - it injects adrenaline into the blood. In this case, we can talk about the risk as evidence of the ability to survive.
As my friend says, there was always enough risk in his life. “While studying at school, or rather in the second grade, I was running across the road and a bus almost ran over me. This moment engraved in my memory deeply. For 11 years of study, there were eternal parties, girls, not without fights, of course. risk ... Each time the risk in my life became more and more. And each time, committing some next reckless act, I thought this time everything would definitely go smoothly. But it turned out that I was naive ... Every time after what I did, I understood how wrong I was, "said Farid.
Indeed, everything in our life is a risk. Cross the road in front of a bus moving towards you - why? To come home a minute early? Or not come ...
Although, my friend does not regret a bit when he risks and endangers his life. According to him, everything that happens to him - rash actions, made him who he is today.
“I know that whatever I do is a risk, a little less, a little more - but a risk ... And you know, I want to take risks. I want to enjoy the life that I manage and build myself, and not the one that imposes on me society. Yes, maybe nothing good will come of it, and the thought "again a rake" will visit me once again.
By the way, people with a great need for risk are often called adventurers. But these are not only adventure lovers - they are pioneers in all areas of activity. Without them, new lands would not have been discovered, human capabilities would not have been explored, etc.
Many of us take risks and, not getting the desired result, begin to spread rot on fate and luck, which does not smile at them. As for me, it is so foolish to look for the reasons for luck or bad luck in your own destiny. In fact, it is not the capricious nature of fortune that makes us get stuck in history or, conversely, avoid unpleasant situations. As psychologists say, it's about the ability to adapt to circumstances and change decisions. An adventurer differs from an ordinary person in that he is able to notice all the details of the situation and instantly draws the correct conclusions: what to say, and what to keep silent about, where to turn, what to hint at.
But if your most innocent actions end in failure, if you get tired of the frequent change of life scenery, do not like to deviate from your plan and prefer to wait an hour for the usual bus, instead of taking a new road, then risk is not your element.
If you think about it, then our whole life, in some way, is solid risks.
Whenever you are involved in a business where it is not clear what the result will be, you take on a certain risk. You take risks when you drive. You take risks even when you just cross the road. And maybe these are not very big risks, but they do exist.
As one friend of the artist says, creative nature, friends, take risks and do not be afraid of anything! You can and should take risks. There is no great success without risk!
"Everything will be fine, whatever happens, meet any obstacle with a smile on your face. And when it's hard, smile even more. And let all the bad things simply not withstand your onslaught and break from your resistance," he says.
The risk is all around us. Life is a constant risk. Everything you try to do has a certain level of risk. No outcome is ever 100 percent certain, but it is a risk that can help advance your life and career.
"Good luck accompanies the brave."
The biggest risk is the lack of willingness to take risks. Geena Davis notes: "If you risk nothing, then you risk everything."
Those who take risks and fail are more successful than those who choose not to do anything.
I took the biggest risk of my life seven years ago. Instead of taking the traditional route of getting a job with a Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm schedule, I started pursuing something more interesting and meaningful. This caused discomfort. But I did it anyway. I have never looked back. Incredible opportunities for self-knowledge opened up before me.
It is very convenient to avoid risky actions. It makes you feel in control. It gives you a sense of security. But it kills your creativity.
There are two types of people:
1. Those who take risks and seize opportunities to make the most of the universe. Those who see failure as an option and use every obstacle as an opportunity to get ahead.
2. And those who take pride in safety. Those looking for stability, convenience, comfort, mediocre performance and a guarantee that everything will be fine.
The world needs and rewards both.
But stability does not guarantee results. If you want to do rewarding work, your only option is to take the risk and work with it.
Goethe once said, "The dangers of life are endless, and among them lies security."
There is never a perfect moment to act.
There will never be a perfect time to start a project, bring an idea to life, or showcase your ability. Timing will never be perfect for you, whether it’s writing a book or changing your habits.
Once you recognize this, you will be doing much more important work every day.
No matter how many opportunities you take in life, you will feel fearful every time a new project, interesting job, or just something new looms on the horizon. But this fear will be familiar to you. You will get used to it. And he will not prevent you from changing anything.
Denis Waitley says: “Life is inherently dangerous. There is only one big risk that you must avoid at all costs and that is the risk of doing nothing. ”
The justification for risk is that you become better at what you do.
In her book, Stop Playing Safe: Rethink Risk, Unlock the Power of Courage, Achieve Extraordinary Success, Margie Worrell says that pursuing a big goal in your life requires fear to be more intimidating than failure. Margie writes, “Risk is the key to being successful in life. Those who don't lose are not the ones who were brave enough to fall short of their expectations. They are the ones who acted as if they had never lived at all. "
You have to forget about discomfort if you want to do interesting work. If you want to achieve great things, risk is not your enemy.
The hardest part is to take a step
“Everything has a risk and a price. But they are much less than the risk of prolonged comfortable inactivity. " - John F. Kennedy
The first step is to take risks.
Many people don't trust themselves well enough to step into the unknown.
But everything is unknown until you try it.
It is quite difficult to make the important decision to take a step. This is the biggest obstacle to achieving anything worthwhile in life. Fyodor Dostoevsky said: "Taking the first step, uttering the first word is what people are most afraid of."
You can be as successful as you can afford to get out of the safe zone and continue to feel comfortable.
“The reward is in the risk,” says Rachel Cohn.
You have everything to do better in life if you can act without regret. You don't even need to start a new project for this. You need something with which you can merge emotionally. That which brings out the best in you.
In his book “Be Afraid ... but Act! How to Transform Fear from an Enemy to an Ally Susan Jeffers encourages us to move from pain, paralysis, and indecision to power, energy, enthusiasm and action. She writes: “Every time you are faced with something that forces you to fight, your self-esteem rises dramatically. You learn to think that you can handle it no matter what happens. And in this way your fears are noticeably reduced. "
Everything you do has two possible outcomes: either it works or it doesn't. The ability to accept any outcome is essential if you want to succeed in life.
Life has its merits and demerits. Taking risks is worrying. It is natural to be afraid to take risks. Listen to yourself and take risks. Your success depends on it.
You will find more interesting and important work if you are not afraid of insecurity. And your life will be as useless as possible if you are afraid of losing what you have.
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." - Helen Keller
Don't think too far into the future when you decide to take the risk and act. Use what you have right now and take the risk of moving forward in life.
If you think too much about the risk of failure, you may be missing out on your chance.
Of course, riding a motorcycle comes with a risk: in an accident, you are more likely to be seriously injured than when riding in a car. On the other hand, you constantly think about it and become more circumspect in every way. People sometimes fall asleep while driving, but they never doze on a motorcycle.

- From the Bible. Ekk 11: 4
There is no entrepreneurship without risk. To start and grow your own business, you have to put everything at stake: your career, your savings, your personal relationships, and even your mental health.
Failed entrepreneurs don't like risk. The ability to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their actions scares them. But if you want to be successful and realize yourself as an entrepreneur, you must be prepared for the risks and challenges that life presents you.
If you win, you will be happy. If you lose, then a little wisdom will be added to the treasury of your life experience. But if you don’t take risks, you will not be able to move forward. As Indian entrepreneur Dhirubhai Ambani aptly said, if you don't fulfill your dream, then someone will hire you to fulfill theirs.
