As I kid the risks I took were stupid ones. You know exactly what I'm talking about, running into the street, sticking your hand into the toaster to get out your waffle, and trying to land a back flip off the monkey bars and ending up with a trip to the emergency room instead. Okay maybe I was just a really crazy kid but when I was younger I wasn't scared of anything and I wanted to do everything no matter the risks.
I'm now a "Nervous Nacy". I worry about all the risks, the risks are all I can think about. I got accpeted to my first choice school I should be over joyed right now but all I can think about are the risks, how will pay for it, what if I end up in debt for the rest of my life, what if I pick the wrong career and have to start again. I realize though that in order to get anything out of life you have to take some risks. Some people say they aren't "risky people" and never take any risks. I ask them if the drove to school today they say yes and reply "You take a risk everyday when you drive to school. You rely on a yellow line to keep another car from crashing into your lane, that is for sure a risk." I guess what I'm saying is that sometimes where taking risks without even knowing that we are.
