It is a safe game to avoid risks in life. But is it really possible to be totally risk averse in life?? You might actually be exposing yourself to more risks if such an attitude is there. Give your views, please!

Risk lies everywhere not only in Politics. I would say that police job and defence job are very risky. General public just cannot think about it.


Do you know that in some countries job of defense personal, Police, Fire-fighters and teachers come into the same category - "Risky for life"


Teaching job is not at all risky.

I know all the other jobs that you have mentioned above is risky. Therefore government takes their tests both physical and mental. Very few people are selected for this job. The horrible situation that they see and face, can make anybody die due to fear. The work of air pilot is equally risky. Many of them die due to heart attack before plane crash.


A teacher is at greater risk than all other professionals I mentioned above. The students being so intolerant, hostile and violent these days that teachers find them at ever growing risk on their lives.


I agree with you. There are incidents, where teachers are held at knife pont and threatened with dire consequences, if they do not allow mass copying. This is a frequent occurrence in a country where it's believed, "Gurudevo Parabrahmah."

I have heard this but never seen this ever in my life. But before exams, I have seen students were preparing special notes given by their tutors. Questions come from there and no other chapters from the books.

On teachers day this year a class 10 student of a prominent government school in Delhi, not only manhandled his teacher, but threatened to kill her. He's at large till now.

personally I have and am taking too many risks in life but have no regrets.You cannot win all the time but at least you have tried ! With all that I still feel that it is better to take calculated risks to reduce your chances of failure ..at least analyse and make a study before plunging !


I also subscribe to this belief, avoidance may not be a good answer. Of course, we must do our own study, examining all the parameters - risk-benefit analysis, risks profile.


Surprisingly most people never would want to take any risks in life at all, not even ones which seem lekely to win ! It tells us that human beings love to be within their comfort zone.Personally, I have taken too many risks sometimes going against the wishes of my family but in the end it is all about doing what you feel is worth doing and not having done at all would probably have been even more distressing ! Of course you are at the receiving end when you lose but when you win , it is great to know that you were afterall right in your assessment, it boosts your self confidence !


Irrespective of gains or losses, taking risks puts us on a learning curve - helps us acquiring valuable insights into life!!


Very much so ! For some a risk taken and lost may mean that they will never ever take any more risks but for some others it may mean, analysing where things went wrong and try again...I feel there is a very positive quality in taking risks


Here I would bring up the element of 'gamble' into our discussion which should not be confused with risks. A person who takes risks should be alive to the management part of it. There must be a set of alternatives in its management. A gamble is a reckless venture.


I agree that gamble is far more dangerous than taking a calculated risk. But it attarcts people like magnate and many plunge in without a forethought and get wiped out ..." Life is a gamble, at terrible odds - if it was a bet you wouldn't take it."
I think a time comes in everyone's life when they have to face a choice that may involve risk. Perhaps you would want to change your career, move to a different place, even quit your job to start a business, or maybe begin a line of entirely different profession. Or if the risk is in relationship, you would want to take certain steps which may prove succesful or otherwise. As for creatively part in your life , you may face with choices of doing what you know or believe is way to success but may not be good in the end but you never cease to do them. These all are risk of life but we have to take them.

When you are taking a risk, it is understood the risk invloves 'Uncertainty". That is moving from known to unknown. If a person knows the end result of his activity. then it's not a 'Risk'. So, it needs courage, conviction and the ability to bear the consequences to take a risk. Those who stood to this landed on the peaks. And those who did not are fumbling at the first rung of the Ladder
The best place to take risk is in business and stocks. The risk of money can give you more money or nothing.

Same thing applies to life and relationships, you have to take risk of investing yourself properly only then can you gain happiness and memories worth cherishing!

It is already implied when we talk about taking risks! Even if you are left unreciprocated, the fact that you still have invested yourself leaves you with a heart that has experienced something - bitter or sweet, does not matter, but it is not left devoid of any experience! i hope you are getting what I mean to say! :blink: :dry:
Friends we have discussed about life risk, financial risk and career risk. Is there any other risks left not yet discussed? I think the risk of mother-in law is left.

What risk would a mother-in-law present? :huh: :dry: Sorry, since my MIL was gone before my marriage, I have no experience about this particular kind of risk! :woohoo: :woohoo:

I feel that one really cannot generalise since it is different form household to household and there are some mother in laws who have criminal tendencies .In my own case I did have some differences with my mother in law initially but later began to understand her better and had a good rapport with her and she stayed with us right until her end in 2006...I still miss her since she was wise and very forthright in her views and I valued her opinion . We used to make it a point to discuss all major issues with her before taking any decision ! So I would say that having a good rapport with your M in Law is an asset , no question of any risk at all!

You were probably very lucky to have such an understanding MIL! It actually depends from person to person, how most women deal with their daughters-in-law or mothers-in-law, so it is not proper to generalise all MILs as being risky. If we do label them all as risky, then I must say that similarly all other relationships too are equally risky!

Absolutely ! I know some mother in laws within my own community who are extremely dominating, also daughter in laws who make their mother in laws life hell ! So it depends from person to person and also to a certain extent how best you deal with the situation !

Mother -in-law was also a daughter of some one..therefore mother-in-law menace doesn't arise.

It is all but "sas bhi kabh bahu thi" it is all about taking risks, which means doing unconventional and going from normal to abnormal when taking risks, last night I was seeing one adventure program in Discovery where one person in circus was controlling elephant as he was the master, but one day that elephant killed him, though the elephant broken down with tears but the reason of killing him is not clear, but it is the risk that is getting ring master his livelihood and now he died from his risks.
its to be good to take risk in life though you don't get success. bcoz "failure is success in life" !@!@!@!
