I always choose to play safe, but now I want to do what my heart wants. And it is also depends on the situation, what are you going to do if you do that? What are the sacrifices that you have to make? and specially who will be the one that will be affected in your decision.

I usually do what my heart says, which is take risks, especially when it comes to love. Other than that I try to weigh things before I take risk. I take risk when I know there's still a chance of succeeding, but if there's a very little chance of succeeding I dont take a risk because I am afraid of failing.

Hi, patersh. I am like this too. I was never one to take risks. I like to play it safe. When my intuition will kick in sharply, I will listen to it, because if I don't, I will be paying for it in the end. Taking risks can be very deadly.

Take the risk. You won't ever get anywhere just playing it safe. You need to be inventive, unique, think outside of the box, circle, or whatever shape is popular at the time. Don't be part of the pack, the herd, etc. If you do you'll never get noticed. You'll be overlooked.

In business and investments i believe in taking calculated risks.Without these calculated risks one has to settle for minimum returns in safe investments.I feel one shouldn't risk everything but one should study the situation and take risks which will yield higher returns.I can say i'm a risk taker who decides after studying the odds.

It all depends on the situation. Mostly I like to play safe. But if the returns that I get would be good enough to take a risk, I choose to take risk. After all, life itself is a risky game. I may have thousands of dollars at my hand today. I know, I may not have even a single dollar tomorrow.. Life is a game.. Why not play it in its own way?

i'm more of a risk taker..i also think of the consequences and as long as it seems that the positive consequence outweighs the negative results, i'll take the risk..so it's more of a calculated risk that i take most of the time.

It depends. As much as i wanna play it safe sometimes, i just feel like i have to take the risk for some situations. There are times when i regret taking the risk but most of the time it pays. :)

I think I would rather play it safe... since I would be worried about the consequences and losing whatever I am risking :)

Making choices and deciding which choices is to be chosen is a hard thing to do. For me, I do both. I take a risk when I know and feel I am safe to take a risk and I choose to play safe when I know and feel that I will be at risk.
