There are only few people who always take the risk and opportunity to either succeed or fail. Are you willing to take a risk if at stake is your family? Or would you only take a risk if it's only your self who's at stake? Why it's hard to take a risk?

If I would be the only one at stake, I'd take the risk. But I would never do such a thing if other people would be involved, because at 'risks', we never know if we would succeed or fail and I certainly do not want to hurt or lose anybody that I love, especially my family. Some people are afraid to take risks because they do not know if in this matter, they'll win or lose; and most do not want to accept failure (for they fail to realize that it teaches us). Risks are what creates a turn in our lives; either good or bad. I'd be risky if I am the one whose going to be at stake, but in the case of involving anybody else, I wouldn't do so. I do not want to lose or hurt the ones I love more than my life!

Yeah, most often we can't afford to take risk when at stake are those people whom we love. But most of the time every decision we make, every risk we take, it will always affect to others in one way or another. Although we often not noticed how it affect them because we're focused with our emotion and our life. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

There's no security in our life. Whatever we do to make sure that everything is okay there's still chances that things will went wrong. Generally, taking risk is best for us to learn, even if we fail we learn how to fail. We learn and grow up from our failures and mistakes that's through taking risk and trying new things. That's why there's only few people who succeed, because they have brave soul to step into the unknown and take risk. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I do believe there are two types of risk, and one of them is calculated risk. Which means that before one does take the risk, he/she knows that the probability of him/her gaining something from the experience is much much larger as compared to him/her regretting ever taking such a risk. Anyhow, I don't consider myself a risk-taker though. I am always taking the safe-side. Not because I am afraid, but I just don't see why I'd take these risks anyway. I am not motivated by it, I guess. It doesn't really mean my life is boring though. I'm just a simple person, I guess. How about you?

Well we have different personality and character. I rarely take a risk as well. However there are times when the prize is high and it will benefit not just myself but for also the people whom I love, then I take the risk. I just make sure that I give my best and pray to God that whatever happened I can accept it. And so far, I have no regret. I do have regret for things I didn't do, not for what I have done. What I have learned in life is it's good to take a risk when it's for the benefit for other people, because if you lose, you'll gain love. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

well..risk is always the buddy of life..everybody do experience it..it may be in different nature or forms.. like health risk, family risk, career risk..etc.. but somehow, It depends entirely on how the people view it..When a person take a risk? you are like in a middle of 2 bridges..it rely more on the choice and decision of the person.. Some succeed after taking their risk, and some fails.. When ever we take risk either a sacrificial or beneficial risk? there will always be two sides of it.. but no matter how does it may be? the most important is IT WAS YOUR CHOICE..and those people behind you who have supported you through.. When we take risk? we discover and learn from our experiences and correct our mistakes too.. I agree that it is always hard to take a Risk..but it helps a person improve..and share experiences to others who may be at help to them..

Taking risks would not be a problem for me ONLY if myself is at stake. But If other people could be affected especially my family or any of my friends, then I would never take that risk because I care and I don't want to hurt the people I love. =)

It's easy to take a risk if the consequences of it involved only our self, and not anybody who's close in our heart, especially our family and love ones. As some people always said don't take risk what you can't afford to lose. In our life there's only two ways to go, live or die, try or win. And often times it's hard to live and face life and challenges. We always tend to keep our self in a safe zone. We are afraid to fail and be rediculed. It's just human nature.
