Kids take risks. Sometimes the scarier the better — it’s part of the thrill. They’ll risk looking foolish. They’ll risk physical injury.
They don’t have prior experiences that tell them to act otherwise.
The fear of falling off a bike simply doesn’t compare to the freedom they’ll have when they learn to ride. They don’t focus on the negative things that might happen — they think of the positive.
Helen Keller said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”
Funny thing about success. If you’re not willing to risk failure you’ve lowered the odds of success.
What happens when you define risk as trial and error — with failure being nothing more than valuable feedback? What you if thought less before taking a risk?”
“Success isn’t permanent, and failure isn’t fatal.” — Mike Ditka
Now that’s a quote worth thinking about.
