Hi friends of @hive, I am happy to share my own Idea on this topic "the risk we take". Indeed every step you take in life is a risk, because you don't know what will happen to you the next minute. Every dream you chase is a risk because you don't know whether the things ahead can lift you up or pull you down.
In life we make numerous decisions which involves risking our lives. Every individual on earth has taken risk, some people don't even know.
To start a business is also a risk, because you don't know what will be the outcome of that business whether you will profit from it or you will lose. For example for a man has five million in his bank and he decides to start up a business than spending it, he has taken a risk hoping to get a good result. He is not 100 percent sure of making profit but he decided to invest. Some of the most risky business I know is betting and forex trading, many people have lost their money on this two platforms.
I know of guy who borrowed fifty thousand dollars from a firm, the firm trusted him because of his nephew that brought him. He told them he is a pro in Forex trading. He got the money and started trading. The first outcome was good, but according him greed entered him. He desired to earn big so that he can keep some for himself. He took the risk without any risk management. And that was how he lost 90 percent of the money. Now he has to start paying back. My classmate who is into trading told me that you can't be a greedy person and earn from Forex , you have to follow the process step by step. All those top Forex traders around the world they started years ago that is why they have achieved something.
Whenever you are taking risk involve you mind and consciousness so that you will not be taken unaware. Even entering a relationship with someone is a risk because you don't know the end result whether it will end in marriage or not. It is a risk because you investing purpose with that person.To also trust someone is a risk because that person can betray you at the end.
Even the sporting activities we engage in is a risk because we are endangering our health and also our lives.
But let us bear in mind that without risk there is not success. After taking a risk and it was successful, it will give you more confidence to take more steps to success.
Also note that whenever you want to take risk ask others who have taken such risk how they made it. Thank you for reading to the end, God bless you.
