“A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.”

— English proverb

Do you like taking risks?  Sometimes, we like to play it safe, right?  There’s nothing wrong with playing it safe.  However, I have come to realize that if I choose to live a life that is entirely risk free, then I may not be living it to its full capacity.  Don’t get wrong, I am not encouraging anyone to live their lives like my very good friend, who likes to jump out of perfectly safe aircraft, swim with sharks, etc …  No.  I am simply sharing my view on risk, which is sometimes, we may want to take chance(s), otherwise, we may potentially miss out on many wonderful opportunities.  

How do you view risk?
