21 Fascinating Quotes on Risk
Responsibilities begin with the dream. And responsibility is equal to strength. The more responsibilities you take, the more strength you will be provided by the universe. While it is easy to work for your responsibilities, real achievements come through massive and focused actions for your goals. The process also involves taking risks – the intelligent risks of course.
To understand it little better, imagine you are driving on a freeway, and the traffic is moderate. If you are a pro driver you won’t mind switching lanes whenever you feel safe and confident to do so. This definitely helps you to move forward faster than everyone else. Just like how an expert trader takes calculated risks in the share market to leverage his return on investment.
Real rewards are in risks. The more comfortable you are taking risks the more rewards you receive.
Just think for a while about all your dreams, desires, hopes and goals. You sure want to achieve success in all important areas of your life. But what exactly you are doing to achieve them? If you ask yourself – what does it take to achieve 10 years goals in 6 months? – what are the options your mind comes up with? Note down those options and risks associated with each of them. Write down what you can give up for it or what price are you willing to pay to go for that options, and also what each of your options can give you in return.
You will notice that the most rewarding option is also coming with more risk.
Now are you willing to take that route? – that’s all it takes to determine how fast you will have something in your possession.
