Why we Need to Take Risks

It does not matter if you are a Doctor, a Lawyer, or an infantry soldier in the Army. You must take risks to be the best and get ahead.

A doctor may have to take risks when working with a patient. The Doctor may have to experiment with different forms of medications or new surgical procedures when all else has failed in an attempt to help the patient.

A lawyer may have to argue a case in an unorthodox manner to win the case. Still, many risks must be taken if the lawyer wants to become the top lawyer and make millions of dollars fighting high-profile cases.

A soldier may have to take a risk and run thru gunfire to save another injured soldier, to complete their mission, or secure an area from being overrun by enemy troops after going days with little to no sleep. Still, if a soldier wants to get promotions and eventually lead men into battle, they also need to take risks.

These risks are not unlike someone looking to get rich in a casino; they have to be willing to risk everything they have to get that million-dollar payoff. If you play it safe in a casino, you may get lucky and win a big jackpot on the slot machines, but if you want to make millions, you are going to have to play games such as Poker, Blackjack, Roulette, and Craps. These games allow you to retire off your winnings with risk-taking luck.

The same can be said about life in general. No one gets ahead in life by playing it safe. You will not meet your special someone if you are too afraid to risk getting rejected by someone; you will never get that big promotion unless you take risks at your job.

It is essential to continue to take risks in life. To stop taking risks means to stand still in life. Standing still in life is one of the leading causes of depression. These are usually the people afraid to confront the boss and tell him that they demand a raise; they are the ones that allow life to pass them by out of fear. The entire purpose of fear is to stop you from taking a risk.

Fear is nothing more than the unknown. If you have always wanted to quit your job and open a shop, but you are too afraid to do it, this is because you are so scared of failing and risking what you already have.

It is essential to learn to take risks in life if you want to be happy, you may not always get the things you risked for, but you will know that you tried. In the end, it does not matter, in my opinion, if you succeed or not; it is how many risks you try to take that is the real test of how successful you are.

Just remember, if no one took risks, we would be in a world without flight and probably no automotive vehicles, and maybe we would have no electricity. So risk truly is needed to improve the world.
