It is an unfair comparison cause we are comparing two different era where the money making dynamics were completely different, are you claiming that your grandpa worked hard than you now in general?
I would say no, the current generation is working more hours to make their money and it happened due to increase in population, the evolution of technologies that reduced the requirement of manpower, high inflation rate like never before and the list goes on and on...
Topic: RISK TAKERS ARE GREAT MAKERS (Read 245 times)
Risk taking should not just be a thing of let me try and what will become of my trying, there is strategic risk taking, we should not take risk in thing that does not worth it, risk is a matter of either you lose or you gain, though risk taking is good sometimes especially when it involves investment, every investor is a risk taker because it is not easy for anyone to invest in something that you are not sure about, this is a topical example of risk taking, I see some peole investing in different coin that they know nothing about without considering if the will lose their money in it, but let's not forget that minimal risk is the best approach in maximizing loss.
Taking risks generally demands a lot of courage. It can be frightening to step into something unfamiliar and encounter the risk of failure. People who can overcome their fear and take chances, on the other hand, are more likely to make a difference in the world. I believe that courage is an essential feature for everybody who wishes to achieve great things. Being brave isn't always easy, but it's generally rewarding in the end. So, risk-taking can have profound advantages beyond the individual; when someone takes a risk and succeeds, it can motivate others to do the same and develop alternatives that are beneficial to everyone.
Risk is synonymous with life, we take risks everyday, although some of them might look so insignificant because they don't increase our material wealth, like entering a bus that you don't know if the driver is mentally fit to handle a steering wheel that day, which can cause accident. We often value the risks that will make us rich, like investing in another person's project, and having assurance that we will get returns on investment from it.
Inorder to amount to something meaningful in life we must take some certain number of risks, before greatness is achieved, it means leaving our comfort zones to think outside the box, which requires a new level of risks. But we must have it in mind to always take calculated risks, because working hard without thinking smart will not make us rich. A cart pusher who works very hard under the sun, is not a guarantee that he'll be richer than a tech guy who sits in an air-conditioned office.

Fear will not get you anywhere in life.
If you are always scared to take the leap forward then you will remain frozen in your place, feet unmoving. It is common to feel scared, worried, or anxious but at some point you are going to need to put those worries aside and just do what is necessary. No one in life is truly prepared because life can throw anything at us but the best we can do is to just keep on going. Whatever challenges we may face, just keep going. Taking the risk will not kill you but not taking the risk might. Even if things do not go the way you plan it to, at least you could say that you tried your best and you did everything you could. You would not have regrets in life and would live the rest of your life proud and satisfied.
Fear is very deceptive that can make one to just remain in a place without moving forward. The life we are living is even a risk which anything can happen without even our notice. Sometimes it is good to take good risk once in a while, a risk that if it eventually becomes successful it can add value to once life. A risk that one can afford to take. To become successful in life one needs to be a risk taker because life is all about taking risk. If you are always scared to take the leap forward then you will remain frozen in your place, feet unmoving.

I will agree to this to an extent, but that's if the person is taking a calculated risk, risk taking is good because it might be an opportunity for you to be successful in life, but that doesn't mean that we should be blindfolded when taking risk, personally I feel that everything in this life is risk but the important thing that we need to be doing as people is to becareful at all time to know when to make a step and when to return because risk taking regarding finances should be done with utmost carefulness, I know that people will get me wrong in this, but we should not because a careful, smart and a calculative risk taker doesn't live the life of regret because his moves are always planned.
Taking risks is necessary to achieve good things in life. You can't start anything new without risk. To invest in a new business, you must take risks. But before starting any new business, you should invest by considering the amount of profit and loss. It is better that the business is not virtual based. Yes many people are doing business online and many people have faced a lot of loss while investing online. Because in virtual there is no way to catch who is a fraud and who is good. So it is better to be a real business if you invest big amount of money there. And always take knowledge well about that business before starting.
The fact that you mentioned that running away from risk sometimes is the best you can do in life. Some people take risk as the only option to success but that is not true because taking unnecessary risks and too many risk can equally lead to failure.
Therefore, in anything that you do or any risk that you take and you fail, try to measure the length you took in taking such risks and why it failed then fail forward. Because as you fail forward you start to understand all the nitty-gritty inside of the risk that you took early and how you can correct all of those things.
To right the wrongs is the best way that one can go when taking risks and always try to measure the level of risk that you take and take heed from the lessons learnt.
I have seen few persons who took risky part in life expecting a success story just the way many others who took same lane narrated their own story of how promienet they have become after taking such risk. It is time we understand what might work out for Mr Ben may not favor another person who strives to copy his pattern or risk taking. We are built differently, we ought to find what suits us and seek becoming professionals on that and not force ourselves into something we not calling it risk taking, Its pointless and the ending may not be what was expected. Therefore, in anything that you do or any risk that you take and you fail, try to measure the length you took in taking such risks and why it failed then fail forward. Because as you fail forward you start to understand all the nitty-gritty inside of the risk that you took early and how you can correct all of those things.

It also depends, some risk takers are real time looser because not everything we take risk upon deliberately, even though life itself is under risk but we shouldn't take the same on ourselves in going extremely high about the risk we are taking, we cannot afford taking risk on what it's advantage is lesser to the extent of the risk taken, this means some things are not worth going for with risk.
A man who succeeds only if he can take ricks is actually wrong If one can take ricks in the right way then he can be successful. Those who don't get rex the right way usually succeed and those who just want to take rex on any subject have a high failure rate. So it is wise to take every risk in rickshaw. And you have to take risk by understanding what subject you actually want to take rex on and how much knowledge or skill you have about that subject. If you don't have knowledge or awareness about a subject and if you take risk about that subject then chances of failure are high. So if you take Ricks knowingly you will get success very quickly.
Anyone who is not ready to take risk might end up being stagnant in life. This is because when opportunities comes he will be scared to take advantage of it, and he will let go of it, unknown to him that it is an opportunity for a better life. Life is full of risk, and that is why only people who are ready to risk it, becomes more successful than people that don't take risk. People knows that gambling is 4isky and they continue or keep gambling without thinking of the risk involved. If we can see life like that and take risk,, we will make it in life. Stating in your comfort zone or been okay with the way that you are might make you not to achieve much.
Risk taking is something of vice versa our parents did and same is expected of us but there may be a slight difference in the pattern of risk, back then it was all about going to farm and doing mini jobs but currently the world has developed and the pattern of risk taking is quite different.
Sometimes running away from risk is good, as not all risk taking gives a better outcome some ends up in tears and regret it is best we consider our possibility of winning before making any involvement.

Because our parents where risk takers thats why some of us are graduates.
What genuine risk are you taking today to better the lives of your kids and wards.
Parents are still taking risk for their children and to train them also. The difference is that there are changes that are noticeable from the old times to now and people of these days have acclaimatized with the present environment around them. Most economy is no longer agriculture based but digital and you have to go on with what is happening. People still farm and do fishing but majority of the job is now semi skilled and skilled but just few are still not skilled. So the only thing is to follow the wave of economic challenge which has left the simple ways of life to modern living and parents are changing, moving towards the direction of updating themselves to be employable in this competitive economic system to be able to take care of their children.
Basically our ancestors rocked because they took risks and they didn't play it safe either. So we shouldnt shy away from online opportunities or business just because it seems risky. It's a nudge to step out of your comfort zone, take some chances and maybe make life better for you and the next crew.
It is not all risk that worth taking. Imagine, investing in a Ponzi scheme. It's also a risk but not really worth taking. One should try to calculate the chance of being successful in a risk before going into it.

We need to take risk as without taking risk we will spend our entire life paying off mortgages and working 9 to 6, but we need to be logical and take risk where it matters or where there is a possibility of good returns or being successful if we give our 100%. For example we can take risk in terms of trading only if we have knowledge and knows how the trading works instead of jumping into it without knowledge or strategy as both contains risk but the latter one will surely make us lose everything.
It's simple that we need to have knowledge before taking risk else it would lead to losses.
There's nothing bad in taking risk, inasmuch that it is what is well deserving to take for our own good, there are some risk we shouldn't afford to take because they will affect us and put us in another position we may not like to be in life, risk must be administered base on the understanding of what might be the repercussions of taking it, then we may not decided on going for it or not, we must have to always play safe even while taking risk.
That's one thing Op failed to understand in his writing. There is a saying that taking no risk is the biggest risk on its own but that doesn't mean you should jump into any risk without assessing the dangers involved and the possible consequences. Our great grandfather actually undergone series of risks but then they were not clinical. Our fathers realize the mistakes of our grandparents and that's why they are sacrificing for us to attend western education in order to make things easier for them with the knowledge we acquire.
To Op, becareful with the link you click online to make money all in the name of you want to take risk so you can be great. Not all risk are worth taking and some of this links you see online are attempt to attack you. Taking blind risk is too risky and instead of making you become a great maker, you will become a great loser. By the way, you should note that taking risk as a whole is not a guarantee of success and whatever risk you are taking, it should be moderate with extreme caution.

That's true. My parents raised me to live in fear of the unknown, be careful in life as they were, basically live in a cage built by my own emotions. They'd rarely travel, never take any risk, they would work government jobs because it offered steady pay, would not invest, but instead keep money in the bank on small interest rate. They lived their lives in fear and died owning very little. During this time they learned to value what they had and have fun with what they owned.
Watching how they lived taught me to be more careless, look for investment opportunities. It's like a sine wave where weak and fearful parents create fearless children who don't want to end up like them and those fearless children at some point go overboard and lose some money or get into an accident or into jail and their children become more careful not to repeat that.
