When things go your way, you plan for greater things. When things don't, you doubt if what you do is right at all. Well, if we don't take risk at young, then when? When we grow older and have more liabilities?
We've read a lot about successful people in the world talking about their success. They all emphasized on the same thing: ability to take risks.
Eduard Savirin said: "To be successful, you have to take risks". Yes, risk could be any form and it can be for the better or worst. Yet I can't agree more to this: we got to take risk.
The more I think of it, the more I know I have to take risk, for a possibly better tomorrow. Nothing comes easy, success obviously do not come easy too. There's a huge price to pay, but not many do. No one can tell me if I will be successful in future. No one can tell me if what I am doing is right or wrong. Whatever they say may be correct or wrong. Does it matter? Because their consequences would only be plain words: right and wrong. But the consequences for you impacts more. You could lose everything, but you can also gain everything you never ever thought you could. For all these uncertainty, there's a name for it called Risk. The comforting thing about risk is it comes with high returns. Again, it's not for the faint-hearted, for these people should only live by themselves in a small shallow place forever, living simple life they never knew could be better.
Since I came to know a little more about myself many years ago, I knew I was meant for something great. Really. Yet the question lingers on what it is, that may make me great. Seriously now, I am beginning to have an idea. But I still do not possess the characteristics yet. Way to go.
I have always been a risk-averse person. However I'm beginning to change. I do not want to continue living how I am living, which is pretty normal relative to everyone else. I'm not happy, I want more. I need to help myself. I need to breakthrough. I want to earn my own money to fund for my own wedding still as a student. I want to have money for my house's renovation still as a student. I want to own my so-desired BMW. All these, if you notice, shall be funded on my very own. I'm not dreaming, because it was happening but the other negativity of risk came in and my plans halted for a while. Afterall, what have I to lose? Probably my belief? Well, not so soon. I want to own all of the above and pay for every single thing on my own, not my parents. I'm only 23. I've got great future ahead of me, whether I succeed now or not. My success may not be now, but I am sure it will be in the near future.
Tang Bo Wei, you have to be focused and listen only to yourself. You can do it.
10 years down the road, you could be the one posting here, recalling on your success story. You may be talking about risk again.
Focus.
