RE: You Miss 100% Of The Shots You Don't Take

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Hi @rahul.stan... I agree with you that taking risk gives immense thrill. But for every decision we make or the action we take there are 2 possibilities either good or bad and the results are either positive or negative, and the probability of these 2 is 50 percent each.

As long as everything goes well, no one bothers about the other side!. But when the other dark side of destiny turns out to us, it makes to suffer or gives a immense burden on our close ones, especially family members. (I mean parents).
So while taking risks I think there are certain things we have to keep in mind. It is okay with some things to take 100 % risk and with some other things to take some precautions or to make sure of some certainties that not to give more burden on our parents or family because of our 'foolish illusion called - thrill '

I am writing this because I saw a group of students two days ago, making some stunts on the middle of the road, just to please a group of friends. Two of them fell and were rushed to the Hospital. Think about the mental agony their parents might have undergone, who might have taken some loan to buy a bike for their children just to please them!!
I am going to write a blog about this soon...

There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. And doing stunts without any expert supervision is very very stupid. I am, by no means advocating to take those kinds of risks. What i was trying to convey is taking risks that have a chance of making your life better i.e. taking creative risks like writing a book or creating music. But most of the time we are scared that people may not think we are good enough and we don't go through with whatever it is that we were planning to do.
That is what I was trying to imply. I guess I should have been more elaborate in the post.

Yes, you are right... And I have seen you much talented too. So.... You too can write a continuation to your post again... All the best... :) :)

Thank you. Maybe I will write one 😄
