Risk

In order to get anywhere successful in life I believe one should take risks. There are times, of course, when one should not take risks, but for the most part a person is always risking something. They could be risking judgement, penalty, criticism, etc. Not all of the outcomes are bad though, there is the desired chance of success, persuasion, or change. People need to take risks in order to make a change in the world, or in order to be successful. This does not mean that one should risk not doing their homework for a week hoping that teachers will stop assigning it, that's not going to happen. The reasoning behind the risk has to be somewhat...reasonable. A good example is investing in a business that you are not positive will take off. But along with these extremes comes every day risks. We make risks like driving every day, or going on an airplane, or talking to a new person you've never met. These are all risks, but you wouldn't really be able to live if you didn't take them.
