Don’t Be Afraid to Take a Chance

“The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.” ~ Debbi Fields
 
Life and living is all about choices and taking chances in whatever you do and wherever you find yourself. The better the choices you make, the better your personal and business life. Taking a chance may naturally involve risks. That is Ok! The chances you take will allow you seize opportunities which can make a lot of difference in your life. The more the opportunities you take, the more your life grows in quality, experience and achievements. Everyone gets to have their own opportunities but it is only those who take a chance at doing something with the opportunities who get to make meaningful progress.

There is a Latin Proverb which says, "Fortune favors the bold but abandons the timid." Yes indeed! Only the bold take chances, the reason they appear to get more fortunate that others. It takes boldness to dare and to take risks. Those who do always manage to get things done faster and better, the reason they tend to be better achievers. When opportunities come your way as they are bound to do from time to time, you must be able to take a chance at such opportunities before you earn any benefits. If you do nothing either out of fear or indecision, you get nothing as far as such opportunities are concerned. Be a risk taker today and watch your fortunes grow as a result.

Get busy right now because…. “No pains, no gains. To get the prize, you must pay the price.”


 

Why Taking Chances is Good for Business

“Life isn’t worth living unless you’re willing to take some big chances and go for broke.” ~ Eliot Wiggington

When opportunity knocks, always remember that it is knocking for mankind no for you alone. If you ignore it, somebody else won’t. Sometimes, the only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible. It may present as an opportunity waiting to be taken. If you don’t take it, you don’t make it. If you do, you get to make it. That is how some people succeed and some onlookers will say it is their luck that made it possible. Unknown to these onlookers, the people who strive, work harder and better somehow get luckier at the end of the day. Have you ever heard someone say “strike the hammer while the iron is hot?” Good if you have. Taking a chance and striking at an appropriate time with everything you’ve got most times guarantees some appreciable level of success no matter the venture.

If you want something bad enough and you are willing to go for broke to have it, somehow you’ll get it. Life may present itself a bore and drudgery unless you’re willing to take some big chances as they come along. That is one great way to discard mediocrity for purposeful achievements. Every successful business person is always looking for opportunities to get things done. Once any opportunity presents itself, they tend to go for it with everything they’ve got. That to me appears to be why they are succeeding. Anybody else can do same and succeed to too if they learn to seize opportunities as well. These opportunities are out there waiting for those with sufficient vision and zeal to grab them. These are the people who really succeed.
