Thanks for that positive inspiration. Really many people who are afraid to take risks fail to realize this: Avoiding risks is itself a risk. It can lead to failures, it can lead to regrets, it can lead to disappointments. How many times have you heard people say "If only i had known". Why do they say it? They failed to take a decisive risk that would have earned them something. I remember one of uncles who is a lawyer. He asked me; charles, i know you dont love my profession. I said yes. He asked why? I said because one day, am afraid that people who you lost a legal battle you won will come for your life. I was just frank. He said to me: Listen Charles, every trade, every profession, every endeavour in life is a risk. Life itself is a risk. He went on to explain to me how going to school is more risky than practising law (I was in second year of my Computer Science Course). This is 3 years ago.
I never forgot that discussion with him. And since then i accepted to take risks and i have been motivating others to do same. Thanks sir @Ejemai for you writeup.
