Taking Risk and Playing Safe

Now let's talk about risk and playing safe. In life, you have to take risk to succed.in each seconds of life. True, playing safe may cost you a little price to pay, but playing safe can only give you the minimum result. If you take risk, you have a big chance to fail, but the result of your success is epic. Trust me, it happens to me. But, there is a time when playing safe can give you the biggest result and playing risk results you minimum result. That is what I'm disscussing right now.

Risk is very important to your life. Without risk, we will play safe all the time. Play safe is good sometimes, but taking risk will impact your result differently and much greater than the result of playing safe. Playing risk will make life more interesting. Imagine a guy who play safe all the time. Never feel that strange feeling of the mixing of nervous and excited of the result. That feeling is something that you feel when taking a risk. The result will be very interesting. Just try.

But remember not to take risk all the time. There is time when you want to take a risk but the stakes is too high, so you are forced to play safe. If this is the situation, you better not take a risk. Risk must be thought and planned ahead. Risk can be done if you have plan B. Why? Because there is 50% chance that risk will fail. And when you take a risk and then fail, you will lose much more than fail when playing safe. Trust me, I've been in that position.

Play safe might give you result like taking a risk. But the chances of this to happen is 25%. If you take a risk, the chances of different and greater result is 75%. But, the chances of success of playing safe is 80%, while taking risk chances is only 50%. This is the time to think. Because there is so many advantages and disadvantages of taking risk and playing safe.

But, there is a time when you take a risk but the result is the same or lower than playing safe. This means failure. Why? Just as I say, risk can only give you better result. But the chances is 50%. If you get lower or just the same result of playing safe, that can only means that you have fail. But, this is not the only failure of taking risk, one other is when you fail and then got result that is far below the standard. When this happen, you will lose much more than it should be. This is the cost of taking risk. It is sometimes too much that you might not get a hold yourself anymore.

Taking a risk and then failing is something that most of the time happens. The result is the people become stressed, depressed or even gone mad and crazy. This is the worst thing that could happen to people who fail while taking risk. That's why always have a plan B to overcome these issues. The B in plan B means Back-up. So, plan B is basically Back-up plan. But, sometimes playing safe might get you fail. People that already plan ahead to play safe and then fails because unexpected factors might end up questioning themselves about their capabilities. These might result insecure behavior and always hesitate to do anything. This is worse than the risk-taker because he/she might not have any courage or confidence and then they will changed from leaders to followers.

How about you? Do you take risk? Or do you play safe? Which is better? In this game of life, there is no time for mistakes, so decide correctly...
