It is all risky.

RISKS AND REGRETS.

It was Jim Rohn who said, "If you think it is too risky, or too expensive to try something you really desire to do, wait till you get the bill from not trying." Everything about life is risky, there is nothing that you do that is not risky, neither is not doing it unrisky. Doing business is risky, you can lose all the resources you put into it, not doing business is also risky, you will struggle to stay afloat financially; so is investing, and not investing; planning and not planning; eating and not eating, and so on, all risky.

Having this understanding that life and everything we do and don't do in it is all risky, why not go for the most rewarding risk. We must take risks, for it is only in taking risks that we can really achieve anything reasonable in life. We must therefore weigh our options, and identify the different types of risks that are available, examine the most rewarding, and the one that can bring us the biggest regrets.

Risks and regrets are part of life, if you take risks that yield great rewards, you might have some regrets. You may feel you should have taken greater risk than the one you took, and gone all out on that particular endeavour; if you take risks that does not yield results, you would feel you should not have taken those risks at all.

So, whatever you do, do not fear taking risks, for it is the only way through which you can achieve anything worthwhile in life. President John F. Kennedy once said, "There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction." Choose your regrets by the kind of risks and actions you take.
