On taking risks and settling…

I am a very risk-averse person. I try as much as possible to avoid risk. They say one of the most valuable traits of being a good entrepreneur is being a risk-taker. This is one of the reasons why I am not an entrepreneur yet. I always stay on the safe side. This may also be a good reason why I am not good at gambling.

In addition to my risk-averseness, a few of my close friends helped me realize that I am a settler. I never try to reach for something that seemed impossible to reach. Nor did I try to give every ounce of effort I’ve got to attain for something I really wanted. I am an expert in making good of whatever I have and being happy with that. I was always afraid that if I give my all and nothing came out of it, I would also loose everything. And so I don’t take risk and I settle.
