Fear of RISK is a block to success

Imagine you are driving a car on a straight road (and that too in a route that is well known to you) at 60 Km per hour on a no moon night. Suddenly, the headlights of the car goes off. Your legs automatically move from the accelerator to the brakes. In spite of yourself knowing the route, you think that you will not be able to cruise at the same speed. Also, fear, risk of accident etc., comes to your mind which probably shifts the leg from accelerator to brake. We think that we will not be able to drive at the same speed and tend to reduce the speed to probably 20 km per hour so that you will be safe.

We don't want to take risk. We are afraid of taking risk which prevents us from reaching newer heights and achieving things. Probably we will have to switch on the hazard lamp (if it glows!) so that it would be an indication for the other vehicles and reduce the speed from 60 Km per hour to 40 Km per hour and drive ahead (also use horn when required!).

Risk in life is essential and inevitable and one has to take calculated risk to succeed in life.
