WISDOM – RISK
“One of the greatest handicaps is to fear a mistake. You have stopped yourself. You have to move freely into the arena, not just to wait for the perfect situation, the perfect moment… If you have to make a mistake, it’s better to make a mistake of action than one of inaction. If I had the opportunity again, I would take chances. “ Federico Fellini

Have you ever backed off from taking a chance, only later to have regretted your choice not to have taken a chance? What was the chance you did not take, and why do you today believe it may have been a mistake not to have taken that chance?
Have you ever taken a chance at doing something only to be rewarded at having taken that chance? What chance did you take, and what fears did you have to overcome to take it?
“There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.” (John Stuart Mill)

INSIGHTS for SUCCESS
“When you’re doing what you love to do, you become resilient. You create a habit of taking chances on yourself. If you do what’s expected of you, and things go poorly, you will look to external sources for what to do next, because that will be your habit. You will be standing there frozen. If you are just filling a role, you will be blindsided.” Dick Costolo
“A lifetime isn’t forever, so take the first chance, don’t wait for the second one! Because sometimes, there aren’t second chances! And if it turns out to be a mistake? So what! This is life! A whole bunch of mistakes! But if you never get a second chance at something you didn’t take a first chance at? That’s true failure.” C. JoyBell C.
“To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.” Soren Kierkegaard
