Risk.

I want to talk about taking risks today.

Risk is what we encounter when we take the decision to enter or act in a ceratin manner that might be detrimental to one's own cherished image.

So we now go to what is detrimental to our own so called cherished image?

An image is what we create for ourself when we have an identity as a daughter, as a mother, as a wife, and also as a human being and a social being.

So if there is a position whereby one's identity is not harmed in a neagtive way one does not mind the taking risk.

Risk is also an enterprise.In taking risk one makes one's ingenuity works for one's advantage.

Also sometimes positive risks enhances one's identity worth too.So if a man takes a risk and enters a fire to save a child his self worth is enhanced.But if the same man takes a risk and gambles and loses then his self worth is eroded.

Risks are very risky if one's character is assailed because of the disastrous enterprise.

So if one takes a reasonable risk that is a little dangerous yet is a little thrilling then so long as the enterprise does not erode one's self worth then many are willing to try that risky venture.

So moral of the story is that take a risk and challenge your self to enhance your image. But be careful.
