there are people who are not into trying new things because they don't like to find themselves at risk.
i always believe that everyday in our lives, whether through the internet or in real life... everything is a risk for us to face.
i risked following my parents' wish for me to take up pharmacy in college even if i want to be an engineer. wanting to make them happy, i took the course they want me to finish. and with flying colors, i did it and honestly, i am happy being a pharmacist. i love my profession a lot. and i am thankful for my parents for that.
i invest some of my earnings from myLot in online investments. yep. i turned my small amounts into big ones after a few months. when people want to know how i did it, i just simply explain to them about online investments. and most of them never listened since they say, there's too much risk with it.
risks... i face them as challenges in my life. and i am able to handle risks well.
how about you? do you have a certain courage to do things even if you know there are lots of risk attached to it?
happy myLotting!

You are definitely a risk taker. Gambling at the casino is no easy risk taking thing. You are not only a risk taker marie, you are a thrill seeker. The experience of going through some risks thrills you. Good luck in your adventures.

ya, its worth taking good risk.
what i mean here is that when u want to take risk , remember if the reward is more than the risk , if you do this then you are taking a good risk.
i do take riskk especially on online business like traveling and vacation.
the is one that ii am into , my friend has made $8,000 from it . When he tols me i didnt take it serious not until he made that huge amt in 3 months.
i quickly ran and registered , soonest i shall reap of it.

I am and I'm not.
It's hard to explain, I can take risks with certain things like I've put a lot of money into a ezine site which isn't taking off. (involves re-work) but I am focused on taking that risk.
I'm not when it comes to being ripped off and things which I am aware of and those things which I'm not I'm wary.

I like taking risks especially if it has to do with traveling such as going in a rain forest, or just talking to someone that doesn't seem to be friendly. About on-line investing, I didn't know we could do that online, could you tell me more about that? I think I would be interested. I don't like gambling and people say that is a risk, so I would say yes, and no. It depends on the situation.

yep.i love travelling, too even if there are lots of risks involved. it's part of having fun, right?
as for online investments, you surely can have fun earning interests from great sites. i did and my money is getting bigger everyday. plus the fact that i really get paid in return... just so happy where my money is going.
take care... and i think i will refer you to yanjiaren. she has a new program and i believe in her.

from what I do, yes i am a risk taker. But before deciding on anything, I always assess everything so i know what I'm up against and accept the consequences of that decision. Small risk, small reward, big risk, big rewards. No guts, no glory

Yes friend iam a little bit of risk taker...
Regaring money i take the risk only if it is mine fully...If it is my parents or my friends , i wont take the risk.....
Now iam studying for my engineering degree...
I got it by taking a small risk...
After completing my twelth i wrote the entrance exam for engineering ..My result was not that good it didnt gave me admission to government college...
Then i decided i would try the next years entrance exam and will not join any thing in coming year...Many adviced me that you are wasting your time and asked me to join some other course ..They told me even that the chance for me to pass the exam is very low and i will lose my one year...
But i took the risk and worked hard and got it...
It was two years back ...
Regarding money in internet i never too much to invest in internet...
I want to take risk if get my payment from mylot...Will you tell me how you took the risk and how you got money ...
Tell me sites which you used to make money...

yes life is a risk and it involves risk in making decisions.
but when it comes to my family i chose to play safe.especially when it comes to their health.
and when it comes to money, i play safe i make it a point that i save even a little for the future. honestly i do not invest in any HYIP. it's too risky.

yes, taking risk is a challenge, if you passed it, it feels good, I am in risk business because i am an insurance agent. i enjoy it, For me it really help my client for any eventualities in thier lives, everytime you move or go somewhere else theres the risk, that is why we have to prepare for it.As of now i have just signed a business partner and it has also a risk, but i am prepared for that. I just hope that this business i entered will be successful.Thre are only two things its either you failed or succeed.

i believe in taking risks or else we won't be where we are but we have to understand that we have a differnt degree or ways of taking it.for example, if you are to ask me to join in your program and do the same , i might not take that risk for the simple reason that i would rather risk my earnings on some other things that i would feel confident on undertaking to increase my earnings.true that we have to take risk in about everything to get what we want to achieve.

If I didn't have the guts to take risks I don't think I would be quite alive now. I have a fighting spirit and don't like to let things beat me. I lost a lot of money in the beginning when I started to try to earn online, but because I stuck it out and persevered and learned from my mistakes and the mistakes of others, I have come to a turning point now which I have been waiting for a long time.

I have taken some huge risks, and pulled some real look before you leap manouevers. I try to do less of that now that I have children who rely on me. I want things to be as stable as possible for them but every now and then I geta wild hair and just about anything could happen!

I could say i am a risk taker as i love to try new things but of course we dont just go but we also think. We have to know the consequences first and from there we decide if we take the risk. We have the much better understanding of what we are doing. Like also here in mylot, at first i was really hesitant and very much skeptical since i love to try and prove it myself so i took the risk but of course theres no risk at all here since i didnt spend a single cent to invest to start up except my time and effort. But life in general, if we want things to change, we have to change, for things to get better, we have to get better. So taking a risk is part of it and we should know how to balance it.

I am a risk taker, too. Everything in this life is in truth and in fact, risk taking. If we are too afraid to take risks, we cannot achieve much in this life at all.

Yes,I can say that I'm a risk taker.I always wanted to travel alone specially to far places that are not familiar with me.I also risk my self for meeting a stranger lets say someone I just met on net.
After high school I risk myself to study in a place far from my hometown and that decision is made by my me alone.Because of my desire to see the beautiful places in cebu city,to learn the cebuano cultures and also to escape the pressure here in manila,I decided to study there even though my whole family is very against in that decision.I was very firm in handling decisions thats why I finished my four years of study there successfuly and that makes my parents proud of me.:)

I completely agree with you
There is a very common problem for all of us in life. We hesitate while taking risks. However life is also a great challenge, and don't we all risk it!
Hence the advice is:
Risk it you might discover a new reason in yourself.
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool!
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental!
To reach out for another is to risk involvement!
To express feelings is to risk rejection!
To love is to risk not being loved in return!
But risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing!
The person who risk nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love!
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave
Only a person who takes risks is free.

i think you have to take risks in life to suceed. everytime you try something new you are taking a risk. you will never know what something is like if you do not take risks. risks allow us to learn and alter are behaviour accordingly. they can also provide you with the big break in life. i love to take risks just to see what the outcome is.
