Why you need to take risks

CNET News.com: "According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 4 of the top 10 and 9 of the top 25 in-demand jobs over the next ten years are in technology fields. We're talking software engineers, engineering managers, IT managers, network and systems analysts and administrators, all kinds of technology jobs."

It is difficult to take risks. It's like they say, the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. At the same time, the bigger the risk, the more likely you are to fall flat on your face. It is difficult to balance the results or probabilties. How do we really know if it is a risk worth taking?

In my opinon risk are something that have to be taken every once and awhile. No one ever knows if the risk is gonna work out in the end and they will be rewarded for it or the other way. But I also think that there is more to the story of why we don't take risk. Yes fear is the big thing, but we also don't take risk for the fear of being wrong. No one likes to be wrong. People feel that it makes them look unintelligent and not competent. But in the end there is nothing wrong with being wrong. We learn from then and move on. The same is with risk. We learn.
